Definitions

  • the subject matter relates to a method for producing a cable and a cable, in particular for automotive applications.
  • Flat cables in particular have a rectangular cross section. Because of their advantageous ratio between weight and surface area, flat cables are used in particular for battery cables for starter-generator cables. High currents flow on the flat cables, so that the flat cables have large cable cross-sections. In addition, flat cables have the advantage that they can implement large cable cross-sections in narrow, inaccessible areas and at the same time enable a high current-carrying capacity for battery cables.
  • connection cables In the course of the increasing electrification of a wide variety of consumers in a motor vehicle, outlets along a battery string at various points within the vehicle are necessary.
  • the flat cable is connected to the vehicle peripherals, for example power distributors, external start support points, convenience consumers and the like, via connecting cables.
  • the connecting cables can be both round cables and again flat cables.
  • the connection lines must be connected to the central battery line. So far, this has mostly been done using connection bolts, e.g. threaded bolts, with standardized connection geometry.
  • connecting bolts to flat cables are, however, disadvantageous in two respects.
  • the connecting bolts require sufficient installation space and make it more difficult to lay the line during assembly; on the other hand, the connecting bolts must be attached to the Flat cables are welded on and must therefore be rotationally symmetrical. This is not always possible, especially in complicated laying geometries.
  • the U.S. 6,863,753 Bl discloses a manufacturing process for flat cables with one or more wire (s) made of metal, which can be completely coated with another metal such as tin, aluminum, etc.
  • the method comprises the two steps of continuously providing the coated cable, for example by means of rollers, and continuously applying an insulating tape to both sides of the core (s).
  • the DE 10 2016 124601 B3 discloses a type of connection between a metal electrical flat conductor and at least one electrical stranded conductor and a method for producing this connection.
  • the flat conductor comprises a first metal material and is coated with a second metal. The coating can be partially applied to the flat conductor.
  • the WO 2017/076535 A1 discloses a type of cable made of flat cables running parallel to one another and made of conductive solid material, for example copper or aluminum, for the automotive sector.
  • the lines are each separated by an insulation layer, preferably all lines are surrounded by insulation and can each be shielded by a metal shield for better electromagnetic compatibility, which must not be connected to the conductor for the shielding effect.
  • the US 2011/048768 A1 discloses a type of cable which comprises a metal conductor, for example a stranded conductor made of tin-coated copper conductors, which is at least partially encased by a first and a second sheath which influence the manner in which the conductor is bent.
  • a metal conductor for example a stranded conductor made of tin-coated copper conductors, which is at least partially encased by a first and a second sheath which influence the manner in which the conductor is bent.
  • the CN 103 000 265 A discloses a miniaturized flat copper electrical cable and a method for its manufacture.
  • the conductor is coated with a layer of silver, which can be mixed with aluminum or nickel, and a second layer Layer of aluminum.
  • the coated conductor is covered with an insulation layer, for example by means of extrusion.
  • the JP 2008 177085 A discloses a multi-core flat cable which is partially surrounded by insulation and a method for its manufacture. In the area of one end of the cable, the insulation has been removed so that, viewed from the end, a narrow insulated area is followed by a cable section with exposed cable cores and followed again by the insulated cable. To fasten the cable end, holes are drilled through the wires in the narrow insulated area. The wires can be coated.
  • the US 2014/290977 A1 discloses a method for continuously manufacturing an insulated flat cable, and the flat cable is made by this method.
  • the conductor or conductors is / are made from a conductive material, preferably from a metal foil.
  • the conductor (s) is / are provided, for example from a roll and processed into an insulated flat conductor in a continuous surface treatment process.
  • the finished cable can be rolled up again.
  • the method thus comprises the two steps of providing one or more conductive conductors / conductors and applying an insulation strip in each case from two sides of the conductor / conductors.
  • connection could be screwed directly onto the flat cable, but this is particularly disadvantageous when using base metal materials for the flat cable, for example aluminum materials.
  • base metal materials for the flat cable for example aluminum materials.
  • aluminum is ductile, so that it can flow along the screw connection, on the other hand, the less noble metal tends to contact corrosion.
  • the object of the object was to provide a flat cable which is suitable for direct contact with outlets.
  • a cable is manufactured in a continuous process.
  • a flat cable made of a first metal is first provided.
  • a flat cable from an extruder or a coil can be made available as an almost endless material.
  • the flat cable is preferably provided with a constant advance and coated directly during the advance.
  • the coating takes place with a second metal different from the first metal.
  • the coating takes place partially on the flat cable, in particular through friction under pressure.
  • the first coated flat cable is coated with an insulation layer. It is thus possible to apply the insulation layer to the coated flat conductor in an extrusion process with a constant advance.
  • the provision, coating and application take place in a continuous process in which the flat cable is provided in one piece at the same feed rate and is fed to the coating and application.
  • the cable provided is preferably initially uncoiled from a coil. This makes it possible to carry out the continuous process on an almost endless material, since several 100 meters of cable can be provided on a coil, which can be completely coated and insulated in the continuous process.
  • the coating takes place by means of roll cladding, friction coating or powder coating.
  • the coating process is particularly environmentally friendly.
  • the coating is applied in sections to the flat part, with a section without a coating lying between two sections with a coating.
  • an individual coating can be applied to the flat cable in a cost-effective manner.
  • the coating can take place in the areas required for this.
  • the first metal material is a copper material and that the second metal material is an aluminum material or that the first metal material is an aluminum material and that the second metal material is a copper material.
  • the choice of the second metal material is usually made according to the connection of the cable to a connector.
  • the metal material of the coating is selected depending on the type and material of the connecting part, in particular the bolt to be screwed.
  • a metal material is selected here which ensures that metals of the same type or similar as possible are in direct contact with one another at the connection between the cable and the connection part.
  • the flat cable is supplied as an endless strip, in particular the flat cable is unwound from a coil.
  • the flat cable be formed from a solid material in order to ensure a particularly good current-carrying capacity.
  • a cable cross-section of at least 15 mm 2 preferably between 15 mm 2 and 250 mm 2, makes sense for the application in question.
  • Another aspect is a device for performing the method according to claim 9.
  • Fig. 1 shows a feed device 2, for example a coil, from which a flat cable 4 is unwound.
  • the flat cable 4 is continuously fed along a feed direction 6 with a preferably constant feed to a coating unit 8.
  • the coating unit 8 can, for example, be a device for roll cladding or for friction welding, with which a coating material is applied to the flat cable.
  • the coating unit 8 applies, for example, a thin metal sheet or a metal foil 10 as a coating material to the flat cable 4 in a continuous process.
  • the advance of the flat cable 4 along the coating unit 8 can be constant.
  • the coating material can be applied by the coating unit 8 to at least one surface, preferably a broad side of the flat cable 4, but also to more than one surface of the flat cable 4.
  • the coating material is applied to the flat cable 4 with interruptions. Areas with a coating 10 can follow areas without a coating 10. An area without a coating 10 lies between two areas with a coating 10. The distances between the areas with a coating 10 can be freely adjustable. The distances between two areas with coating 10 can also be different from one another.
  • the material of the flat cable 4 differs from the material of the coating 10.
  • the flat cable can for example be made of an aluminum material and the coating 10 of a copper material.
  • the coated flat cable 4 is fed to an insulation device 12.
  • the isolation device 12 can, for example, be an extruder.
  • an insulating material 14 is applied to the coated flat cable 4 and the coated flat cable 4 is coated circumferentially with the insulator 14.
  • the cable 16 now obtained has a flat cable 4 with a coating 10 as its core and is completely sheathed with the insulator 14.
  • the cable 16 is then prefabricated, for example, by cutting it or rewinding it onto a coil.
  • Fig. 2 shows a cable 16 stripped from its end face, which is not part of the claimed invention. It can be seen that the end face of the insulator 14 is stripped. It can also be seen that a coating 10 has been applied to the flat cable 4. The coating 10 is applied along the entire wide surface of the flat cable 4.
  • FIG Fig. 3 A sectional coating according to the invention is shown in FIG Fig. 3 shown.
  • the Fig. 3 shows the flat cable 4 with coatings 10 which were applied in sections.
  • the distances between the areas with coating 10 and the areas without coating 10 can be variable.
  • the width of the sections with coating 10 can also be variable.
  • the flat conductor 4 coated in sections in this way is coated with the insulator 14 in the insulation device 12.
  • the cable 16 can then be cut to length in such a way that the coating 10 is present in the areas in which outlets are applied to the cable 16.
  • These can be bolts that are screwed into the coating 10, for example.
  • a suitable choice of the material of the coating 10 can, for example, ensure a single-type screw connection with a bolt.
  • the intermetallic transition between the coating 10 and the flat cable 4 remains fully protected by the insulation 14, so that no ambient moisture can penetrate into the metallic transition, which makes contact corrosion more difficult.
