Definitions
- the invention relates to a high-current cable for induction applications such as the inductive heating of metallic components during welding.
- the invention also relates to a method for attaching an electrical connection to such a high-current cable.
- the components In certain welding processes, it is necessary to preheat the components to be joined or to keep them at a certain temperature after a welding process. By preheating the components (depending on the material), a so-called hardening (formation of very hard structural zones when certain carbon values are exceeded in the zone affected by heat during welding) can be prevented. In the case of multi-layer welding, the so-called interpass temperature is important, which should not fall below a certain value in order to avoid so-called cold cracks. In certain processes, the components should be kept (annealed) at a certain temperature for a certain time after the actual welding process. In all of these cases, the components must be heated by suitable means in addition to the actual welding process.
- one or more gas burners are connected upstream of a welding device, past which the components are then passed in order to preheat the weld seam area of the components to be welded.
- the heating of the components is very uneven, which can have negative effects on the material of the components.
- the steel 15 NiCuMoNb 5 - WB 36 material number 1.6368
- preheating by means of infrared radiation is known, with which temperature peaks in the components are to be avoided.
- this process is very energy-intensive and involves energy losses in the region of 70%.
- only superficial heating of the components is often possible by means of infrared radiation, while heating of the entire weld seam area is desirable, especially in the case of components with a large thickness.
- inductor In recent years, components have therefore increasingly been heated using induction. In this case, eddy currents are induced in the components in the weld seam area in front of an actual welding device by means of a device called an inductor, which lead to resistance heating. Depending on the inductor geometry, weld seam geometry and inductor power, the entire weld seam area can be preheated.
- inductor namely rigid and slack, each of which has proven its worth for certain types of application.
- inductors that are actively cooled by fluid coolants and have corresponding coolant lines and those that do not have coolant lines.
- the inductors are specifically manufactured for certain weld seam shapes (e.g. fillet weld, butt weld), welding processes and components and are used to drastically increase the welding speed by inductively heating the components very quickly (typically around 100 mm) in front of the welding torch.
- the inductors are placed very close to the components.
- a working height i.e. a distance between inductor and component, of 1 to 2 mm, for aluminum alloys, even preferably less than 1 mm.
- Corresponding inductors work with an inductor power of around 15 to 30 kW, and alternating current fields are induced in the frequency range of around 9 to 23 kHz. This means that welding speeds of 400 to 1,200 mm / minute can be achieved.
- Inductors of the other type so-called slack, band or hose-shaped inductors are, for example, from the US 2007/0215606 A1 famous. They consist of a high-current cable in the form of preferably stranded stranded wire or a wire, the cable either, as in the above US 2007/0215606 A1 described, surrounded directly with a watertight hose or else encased by a generally metallic braided hose, which, if cooling is required, can be surrounded by a watertight hose for guiding a coolant.
- metal hoses sheathed with one to three layers of copper braided hose are known, in which a connector is soldered to the end, by means of which the electrical connection can then be made by screwing with a union nut.
- a connector is soldered to the end, by means of which the electrical connection can then be made by screwing with a union nut.
- such cables are still in a protective tube made of glass fiber fabric. The problem with this type of cable is that it is only moderately robust mechanically and also requires water cooling at application temperatures above 200 ° C.
- connection elements on the cable side are soldered or pressed onto the copper braid as appropriately shaped sleeves.
- high-current cables when very high temperatures are to be generated inductively using high-current cables, e.g. temperatures up to 800 ° C, aluminum high-current cables have proven particularly useful, in which an aluminum braid is usually guided in a stainless steel braided hose. Despite the high temperatures, such cables do not require water cooling and are very robust.
- the DE 10 2010 114 994 B3 a method in which a sleeve is attached to an aluminum cable by means of friction welding, to which a specially designed contact element is then welded.
- a method for contacting an aluminum cable is known in which a first sleeve made of aluminum is connected to the cable by tinning and a second sleeve, which surrounds the first sleeve and the cable, is also connected to the first sleeve by tinning.
- the design requires separate sleeves to be attached to the cable one after the other.
- the proposed tin-plating limits the application temperatures of the cable, since tin has a melting temperature of 232 ° C, while high-current cables of the type in question here can reach cable temperatures of up to around 280 ° C.
- JP 2018 073688 A suggests the use of multi-part, nested sleeves made of different materials.
- the invention is based on the object of improving the known solutions and of specifying a sheathed aluminum high-current cable which can be connected in a simple and safe manner to typical electrical devices, such as, for example, generators of an induction current.
- the invention is also based on the object to specify a simplified method for attaching an electrical connection sleeve to a sheathed aluminum high-current cable.
- the object is achieved by a high-current cable with the features of claim 1 or a method with the features of claim 7.
- the invention has the advantage that it enables aluminum high-current cables, which have a number of advantages over other high-current cables, especially in so-called medium-frequency applications (i.e. applications in which alternating currents with a frequency of typically a few hundred Hz up to a few kHz are used).
- medium-frequency applications i.e. applications in which alternating currents with a frequency of typically a few hundred Hz up to a few kHz are used.
- inductive heating of metallic components in the context of workpiece preparation or post-processing during welding processes have to be provided in a simple and, above all, safe manner with a quasi-standardized high-current plug for making plug connections.
- connection sleeve provided according to the invention with a first essentially cylindrical section made of a first metal and a substantially cylindrical section made of a second metal welded to it, the first section being made of aluminum, advantageously enables the connection sleeve to be welded to the aluminum braid.
- the second essentially cylindrical section it can advantageously be connected to a high-current plug, in particular soldered.
- the second section is made of copper. However, it can also consist of other suitable materials, e.g. silver. Since high-current plugs of the type in question here typically consist of brass, the second section can then be soldered to the high-current plug.
- the inside diameter of at least the second section is dimensioned to accommodate the sheathing with the aluminum braid. This also makes it possible to enclose the sheathing and thus to form a "clean" termination of the cable.
- the sheathing is a stainless steel braided sheathing. This advantageously enables a particularly robust, but at the same time flexible design of the high-current cable that can be adapted to different geometries of an area to be heated inductively, for example.
- first essentially cylindrical section and the second essentially cylindrical section are friction-welded to one another. This enables a particularly stable configuration of the connecting sleeve while at the same time maintaining very good electrical conductivity.
- a connecting sleeve with two essentially cylindrical sections welded together, one of which is made of aluminum and the other of another metal, preferably copper or silver, is provided and a part of the aluminum braid is exposed at at least one end of the high-current cable, whereby these two steps can of course take place in any order or also in parallel.
- the connecting sleeve is then pushed onto the high-current cable in such a way that the aluminum braid is located in the section of the connecting sleeve made of aluminum, whereupon the section of the connecting sleeve made of aluminum is welded to the aluminum braid.
- the connection sleeve can then be introduced into a receptacle of a high-current plug that is at least partially complementary to the connection sleeve and fastened there.
- the provision of the connecting sleeve comprises the friction welding of the two essentially cylindrical sections to one another.
- connection sleeve can be fastened in the receptacle, provided that suitable materials are used for the receptacle, for example brass, and the second essentially cylindrical section of the connection sleeve, for example copper, is used by soldering.
- Fig. 1 shows a high-current cable designated in its entirety by 10, which consists of a stranded aluminum braid 14 sheathed in this exemplary embodiment by a stainless steel braid 12.
- a relatively long section of the aluminum braid 14 is exposed, that is to say significantly more than would actually have to be exposed for the welding of the aluminum braid to a section of a connecting sleeve, which is described below.
- the Fig. 2 shows a connecting sleeve according to the invention, denoted in its entirety by 20, with two essentially cylindrical sections 22 and 24, the section 22 being made of aluminum and the section 24 being made of copper in this exemplary embodiment.
- the two sections 22 and 24 are friction welded together.
- the connecting sleeve 20 also has two grub screws 26 in the end region of the section 24 made of copper, which serve to clamp a high-current cable inserted into the connecting sleeve 20, but which are optional and do not have to be provided.
- the two cylindrical sections 22 and 24 have the same outside diameter, but the inside diameter of section 24 can be larger than that of section 22 made of aluminum, so that part of the sheathing of the cable, as in FIG Fig. 3 shown can be inserted into the sleeve.
- the inner diameter of the section made of aluminum can be smaller, since it only has to accommodate the aluminum braid.
- Fig. 3 the state after sliding and the connecting sleeve on the cable, welding the aluminum braid to the aluminum section 22 of the sleeve and soldering the section 24, which is made of copper in this embodiment, to the sheathing 12, which is made of stainless steel braiding, so that a high-current cable according to the invention 30 is formed.
- the high-current plug 40 has a cylindrical contact section 42, a cylindrical receiving sleeve 44 and a closing flange 46 Fig. 2 forms.
- the connecting sleeve can be secured by grub screws which are screwed into the receptacle sleeve through one or more bores 50.
- connection sleeve is preferably soldered to the plug 40 after it has been introduced into the receptacle 48, which is advantageously possible in that the portion of the connection sleeve located on the cable-facing part of the connection sleeve is made of a metal, such as copper or silver in particular, that interacts well the metal, from which a high-current plug of the type in question here, in particular brass, is typically made, can be soldered.
- a metal such as copper or silver in particular
- these materials are also significantly harder than aluminum, so that the receiving section of the plug not only ensures a good electrical connection between the high-current cable and the plug, but at the same time also protects the aluminum section of the connecting sleeve that is on the inside after the corresponding connection has been made.
- the contact section 42 of the plug 40 is provided in a manner known per se for insertion into a corresponding receptacle on an electrical device.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Hochstromkabel für Induktionsanwendungen wie z.B. das induktive Erwärmen metallischer Bauteile beim Schweißen. Die Erfindung betrifft auch ein Verfahren zum Anbringen eines elektrischen Anschlusses an ein solches Hochstromkabel.The invention relates to a high-current cable for induction applications such as the inductive heating of metallic components during welding. The invention also relates to a method for attaching an electrical connection to such a high-current cable.
Bei bestimmten Schweißvorgängen ist es notwendig, die miteinander zu verbindenden Bauteile vorzuwärmen bzw. nach einem Schweißgang auf einer bestimmten Temperatur zu halten. Durch Vorwärmen der Bauteile kann (materialabhängig) eine sog. Aufhärtung (Bildung sehr harter Gefügezonen durch Überschreitung bestimmter Kohlenstoffwerte in der beim Schweißen wärmebeeinflussten Zone) verhindert werden. Bei mehrlagigem Schweißen ist die sog. Zwischenlagentemperatur von Bedeutung, die nicht unter einen bestimmten Wert fallen sollte, um sog. Kaltrisse zu vermeiden. Bei bestimmten Prozessen sollen die Bauteile nach dem eigentlichen Schweißvorgang für eine bestimmte Zeit auf einer bestimmten Temperatur gehalten (geglüht) werden. In allen diesen Fällen müssen die Bauteile durch geeignete Mittel zusätzlich zum eigentlichen Schweißvorgang erwärmt werden.In certain welding processes, it is necessary to preheat the components to be joined or to keep them at a certain temperature after a welding process. By preheating the components (depending on the material), a so-called hardening (formation of very hard structural zones when certain carbon values are exceeded in the zone affected by heat during welding) can be prevented. In the case of multi-layer welding, the so-called interpass temperature is important, which should not fall below a certain value in order to avoid so-called cold cracks. In certain processes, the components should be kept (annealed) at a certain temperature for a certain time after the actual welding process. In all of these cases, the components must be heated by suitable means in addition to the actual welding process.
Bei einem bekannten und häufig verwendeten Verfahren werden ein oder mehrere Gasbrenner einer Schweißvorrichtung vorgeschaltet, an denen die Bauteile dann vorbeigeführt werden, um den Schweißnahtbereich der zu schweißenden Bauteile vorzuwärmen. Je nach Anordnung und Ausrichtung der Brenner, Material und Form der Bauteile und Geschwindigkeit, mit der sich Bauteile und Brenner relativ zueinander bewegen, ist die Erwärmung der Bauteile sehr ungleichmäßig, was negative Auswirkungen auf den Werkstoff der Bauteile haben kann. Beispielsweise toleriert der Stahl 15 NiCuMoNb 5 - WB 36 (Werkstoffnummer 1.6368), der in der Kesselindustrie sehr oft eingesetzt wird, nur sehr niedrige Auf- und Abkühlraten und sollte daher nicht mit einer Flamme vorgewärmt werden.In a known and frequently used method, one or more gas burners are connected upstream of a welding device, past which the components are then passed in order to preheat the weld seam area of the components to be welded. Depending on the arrangement and orientation of the burners, the material and shape of the components and the speed at which the components and burners move relative to one another, the heating of the components is very uneven, which can have negative effects on the material of the components. For example, the steel 15 NiCuMoNb 5 - WB 36 (material number 1.6368), which is very often used in the boiler industry, only tolerates very low heating and cooling rates and should therefore not be preheated with a flame.
Neben der sog. Flammenvorwärmung ist die Vorwärmung mittels Infrarotstrahlung bekannt, womit Temperaturspitzen in den Bauteilen vermieden werden sollen. Dieses Verfahren ist allerdings ebenso wie die Erwärmung mit Flammen sehr energieintensiv und mit Energieverlusten im Bereich von 70 % verbunden. Zudem ist mittels Infrarotstrahlung oft nur eine oberflächliche Erwärmung der Bauteile möglich, während gerade bei Bauteilen mit einer großen Dicke eine Erwärmung des gesamten Schweißnahtbereichs wünschenswert ist.In addition to the so-called flame preheating, preheating by means of infrared radiation is known, with which temperature peaks in the components are to be avoided. However, like heating with flames, this process is very energy-intensive and involves energy losses in the region of 70%. In addition, only superficial heating of the components is often possible by means of infrared radiation, while heating of the entire weld seam area is desirable, especially in the case of components with a large thickness.
In den letzten Jahren werden Bauteile deshalb verstärkt mittels Induktion erwärmt. Dabei werden im Schweißnahtbereich vor einer eigentlichen Schweißvorrichtung mittels einer als Induktor bezeichneten Vorrichtung Wirbelströme in den Bauteilen induziert, die zur Widerstandserwärmung führen. Je nach Induktorgeometrie, Schweißnahtgeometrie und Induktorleistung kann der gesamte Schweißnahtbereich vorgewärmt werden. Dabei kann zwischen zwei grundsätzlich verschiedenen Induktorbauarten, nämlichen starren und schlaffen, unterschieden werden, die sich jeweils für bestimmte Anwendungsarten durchaus bewährt haben. Daneben kann zwischen Induktoren, die aktiv über fluide Kühlmittel gekühlt werden und über entsprechende Kühlmittelleitungen verfügen, und solchen, die nicht über Kühlmittelleitungen verfügen, unterschieden werden.In recent years, components have therefore increasingly been heated using induction. In this case, eddy currents are induced in the components in the weld seam area in front of an actual welding device by means of a device called an inductor, which lead to resistance heating. Depending on the inductor geometry, weld seam geometry and inductor power, the entire weld seam area can be preheated. A distinction can be made between two fundamentally different types of inductor, namely rigid and slack, each of which has proven its worth for certain types of application. In addition, a distinction can be made between inductors that are actively cooled by fluid coolants and have corresponding coolant lines and those that do not have coolant lines.

So sind z.B. mit ein bis drei Lagen Kupfergeflechtschlauch ummantelte Metallschläuche bekannt, bei denen an das Ende ein Anschlussstück gelötet ist, mittels welchem dann der elektrische Anschluss durch Verschraubung mit Überwurfmutter erfolgen kann. Typischerweise befinden sich solche Kabel noch in einem Schutzschlauch aus Glasfasergewebe. Problematisch bei dieser Art von Kabeln ist, dass sie mechanisch nur mittelmäßig robust sind und zudem bereits bei Anwendungstemperaturen über 200 °C eine Wasserkühlung benötigen.For example, metal hoses sheathed with one to three layers of copper braided hose are known, in which a connector is soldered to the end, by means of which the electrical connection can then be made by screwing with a union nut. Typically, such cables are still in a protective tube made of glass fiber fabric. The problem with this type of cable is that it is only moderately robust mechanically and also requires water cooling at application temperatures above 200 ° C.
Ferner sind in Silikonschläuchen geführte Kupferlitzen bekannt, bei denen der elektrische Anschluss über eine sogenannte Hochstrom-Steckverbindung meist mittels Lamellen-Kontaktelementen mit äußerer Wasserführung oder als Bajonett-Stecker mit innerer Wasserführung erfolgt. Solche Kabel sind mechanisch wenig robust, besitzen aber eine Strombelastbarkeit von etwa 40 A/mm2. Die kabelseitigen Anschlusselemente werden dabei als entsprechend geformte Hülsen an die Kupferlitze gelötet oder gepresst.Furthermore, copper strands guided in silicone hoses are known in which the electrical connection is made via what is known as a high-current plug connection, usually by means of lamellar contact elements with external water supply or as a bayonet connector with internal water supply. Such cables are not mechanically robust, but have a current carrying capacity of around 40 A / mm 2 . The connection elements on the cable side are soldered or pressed onto the copper braid as appropriately shaped sleeves.
Insbesondere wenn sehr hohe Temperaturen unter Verwendung von Hochstromkabeln induktiv erzeugt werden sollen, z.B. Temperaturen bis zu 800 °C, haben sich Aluminium-Hochstromkabel besonders bewährt, bei denen i.d.R. in einem Edelstahlgeflechtschlauch eine Aluminiumlitze geführt ist. Trotz der hohen Temperaturen benötigen solche Kabel keine Wasserkühlung und sind sehr robust.In particular, when very high temperatures are to be generated inductively using high-current cables, e.g. temperatures up to 800 ° C, aluminum high-current cables have proven particularly useful, in which an aluminum braid is usually guided in a stainless steel braided hose. Despite the high temperatures, such cables do not require water cooling and are very robust.
Es hat sich allerdings gezeigt, dass es problematisch ist, solche Aluminium-Hochstromkabel in leichter und zuverlässiger Weise mit Anschlussstücken zum Anschließen der Kabel an elektrische Geräte zu versehen. Bislang werden dazu an das jeweilige Aluminiumkabel Kabelschuhe ebenfalls aus Aluminium angeschweißt. Allerdings werden entsprechende Induktionswärmeanlagen häufig durch fachfremdes Personal verwendet, so dass es nicht selten zu Fehlern bei der Verschraubung der Kabelschuhe mit Anschlüssen an einem elektrischen Gerät kommt, die sogar zur Zerstörung der Kabelschuhe führen können. Zudem ist die Isolation der Kabelschuhe problematisch.However, it has been shown that it is problematic to provide such aluminum high-current cables in a simple and reliable manner with connecting pieces for connecting the cables to electrical devices. So far, aluminum cable lugs have also been welded to the respective aluminum cable. However, corresponding induction heating systems are often used by non-skilled personnel, so that it is not uncommon for errors to occur when screwing the cable lugs to connections on an electrical device, which can even lead to the destruction of the cable lugs. In addition, the insulation of the cable lugs is problematic.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die bekannten Lösungen zu verbessern und ein ummanteltes Aluminium-Hochstromkabel anzugeben, das in einfacher und sicherer Weise an typische elektrische Geräte, wie z.B. Erzeuger eines Induktionsstroms, anschließbar ist. Der Erfindung liegt auch die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein vereinfachtes Verfahren zum Anbringen einer elektrischen Anschlusshülse an einem ummantelten Aluminium-Hochstromkabel anzugeben.The invention is based on the object of improving the known solutions and of specifying a sheathed aluminum high-current cable which can be connected in a simple and safe manner to typical electrical devices, such as, for example, generators of an induction current. The invention is also based on the object to specify a simplified method for attaching an electrical connection sleeve to a sheathed aluminum high-current cable.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst von einem Hochstromkabel mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 bzw. einem Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 7.The object is achieved by a high-current cable with the features of claim 1 or a method with the features of claim 7.
Die Erfindung hat den Vorteil, dass sie es ermöglicht, Aluminium-Hochstromkabel, die eine Reihe von Vorteilen gegenüber anderen Hochstromkabeln gerade bei sogenannten Mittelfrequenzanwendungen (d.h. Anwendungen, bei denen Wechselströme mit einer Frequenz von typischerweise einigen hundert Hz bis hin zu einigen kHz angewandt werden) wie z.B. der induktiven Erwärmung von metallischen Bauteilen im Rahmen der Werkstückvor- oder -nachbereitung bei Schweißvorgängen besitzen, in einfacher und vor allem sicherer Weise mit einem quasi standardisierten Hochstromstecker zur Herstellung von Steckverbindungen zu versehen.The invention has the advantage that it enables aluminum high-current cables, which have a number of advantages over other high-current cables, especially in so-called medium-frequency applications (i.e. applications in which alternating currents with a frequency of typically a few hundred Hz up to a few kHz are used). such as the inductive heating of metallic components in the context of workpiece preparation or post-processing during welding processes, have to be provided in a simple and, above all, safe manner with a quasi-standardized high-current plug for making plug connections.
Die erfindungsgemäß vorgesehene Anschlusshülse mit einem ersten im Wesentlichen zylindrischen Abschnitt aus einem ersten Metall und einem daran angeschweißten im Wesentlichen zylindrischen Abschnitt aus einem zweiten Metall, wobei der erste Abschnitt aus Aluminium besteht, ermöglicht es vorteilhaft, die Anschlusshülse mit der Aluminiumlitze zu verschweißen. Je nach Material des zweiten im Wesentlichen zylindrischen Abschnitts kann dieser vorteilhaft mit einem Hochstromstecker verbunden, insbesondere verlötet werden.The connection sleeve provided according to the invention with a first essentially cylindrical section made of a first metal and a substantially cylindrical section made of a second metal welded to it, the first section being made of aluminum, advantageously enables the connection sleeve to be welded to the aluminum braid. Depending on the material of the second essentially cylindrical section, it can advantageously be connected to a high-current plug, in particular soldered.
Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform besteht der zweite Abschnitt aus Kupfer. Er kann aber auch aus anderen geeigneten Materialien, z.B. Silber, bestehen. Da Hochstromstecker der hier in Frage stehenden Art typischerweise aus Messing bestehen, kann dann der zweite Abschnitt mit dem Hochstromstecker verlötet werden.In a preferred embodiment, the second section is made of copper. However, it can also consist of other suitable materials, e.g. silver. Since high-current plugs of the type in question here typically consist of brass, the second section can then be soldered to the high-current plug.
Bei einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist der Innendurchmesser zumindest des zweiten Abschnitts dazu bemessen, die Ummantelung mit der Aluminiumlitze aufzunehmen. Dies ermöglicht es, auch die Ummantelung einzufassen und somit einen "sauberen" Abschluss des Kabels zu bilden.In a further preferred embodiment, the inside diameter of at least the second section is dimensioned to accommodate the sheathing with the aluminum braid. This also makes it possible to enclose the sheathing and thus to form a "clean" termination of the cable.
Bei einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform handelt es sich bei der Ummantelung um eine Edelstahl-Geflechtummantelung. Dies ermöglicht vorteilhaft eine besonders robuste, gleichzeitig aber auch flexible und mithin an unterschiedliche Geometrien eines z.B. induktiv zu erwärmenden Bereichs anpassbare Ausgestaltung des Hochstromkabels.In a further preferred embodiment, the sheathing is a stainless steel braided sheathing. This advantageously enables a particularly robust, but at the same time flexible design of the high-current cable that can be adapted to different geometries of an area to be heated inductively, for example.
Bei einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind der erste im Wesentlichen zylindrische Abschnitt und der zweite im Wesentlichen zylindrische Abschnitt miteinander reibverschweißt. Dies ermöglicht eine besonders stabile Ausgestaltung der Anschlusshülse bei gleichzeitiger Beibehaltung einer sehr guten elektrischen Leitfähigkeit.In a further preferred embodiment, the first essentially cylindrical section and the second essentially cylindrical section are friction-welded to one another. This enables a particularly stable configuration of the connecting sleeve while at the same time maintaining very good electrical conductivity.
Gemäß dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren zum Anbringen eines Hochstromsteckers an einem Hochstromkabel mit einer ummantelten Aluminiumlitze wird zunächst eine Anschlusshülse mit zwei miteinander verschweißten, im Wesentlichen zylindrischen Abschnitten, von denen einer aus Aluminium und der andere aus einem anderen Metall, vorzugsweise Kupfer oder Silber, besteht, bereitgestellt und es wird an wenigstens einem Ende des Hochstromkabels ein Teil der Aluminiumlitze freigelegt, wobei diese beiden Schritte natürlich in beliebiger Reihenfolge oder auch parallel erfolgen können. Dann wird die Anschlusshülse auf das Hochstromkabel so aufgeschoben, dass sich die Aluminiumlitze in dem aus Aluminium bestehenden Abschnitt der Anschlusshülse befindet, worauf der aus Aluminium bestehende Abschnitt der Anschlusshülse mit der Aluminiumlitze verschweißt wird. Anschließend kann die Anschlusshülse in eine zu der Anschlusshülse zumindest partiell komplementäre Aufnahme eines Hochstromsteckers eingebracht und dort befestigt werden.According to the inventive method for attaching a high-current plug to a high-current cable with a sheathed aluminum braid, a connecting sleeve with two essentially cylindrical sections welded together, one of which is made of aluminum and the other of another metal, preferably copper or silver, is provided and a part of the aluminum braid is exposed at at least one end of the high-current cable, whereby these two steps can of course take place in any order or also in parallel. The connecting sleeve is then pushed onto the high-current cable in such a way that the aluminum braid is located in the section of the connecting sleeve made of aluminum, whereupon the section of the connecting sleeve made of aluminum is welded to the aluminum braid. The connection sleeve can then be introduced into a receptacle of a high-current plug that is at least partially complementary to the connection sleeve and fastened there.
Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Verfahrens umfasst das Bereitstellen der Anschlusshülse das Reibverschweißen der beiden im Wesentlichen zylindrischen Abschnitte miteinander.In a preferred embodiment of the method, the provision of the connecting sleeve comprises the friction welding of the two essentially cylindrical sections to one another.
Das Befestigen der Anschlusshülse in der Aufnahme kann, sofern geeignete Materialien für die Aufnahme, z.B. Messing, und den zweiten im Wesentlichen zylindrischen Abschnitt der Anschlusshülse, z.B. Kuper, verwendet werden, durch Anlöten erfolgen.The connection sleeve can be fastened in the receptacle, provided that suitable materials are used for the receptacle, for example brass, and the second essentially cylindrical section of the connection sleeve, for example copper, is used by soldering.
