Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of fuses, and in particular fuses used in automotive applications, such as for example fuses for electric vehicles.
  • This fuse base 1 is then completed with a tab 4 or a blade so that, depending on the applications, the bases 3 can be electrically connected to an electrical circuit by screwing or soldering these tabs 4, or by connecting these tabs 4 with female contacts.
  • Such an additional tab 4 or blade is generally itself soldered to each base 3.
  • Examples of this type of fuse of the prior art are shown in the Figures 2a, 2b, 2c and 2d .
  • On the Figures 2a and 2b are shown, in elevation, respectively at two angles at 90° to each other, fuses with legs 4 welded to the bases 3 and drilled in order to use a screw connection.
  • On the Figures 2c and 2d are shown, in elevation, respectively at two angles at 90° to each other, fuses with legs 4 welded to the bases 3 and having a tab shape in order to use a connection with a female contact.
  • the bases 3 and the legs 4 thus added are generally made of copper alloy. But, in this case, therefore with two-part connection ends, the electrical performances are not optimal.
  • At least one of the electrically conductive legs integral with a base is made up of a tab formed from a crushed portion of the single-piece part.
  • the crushed tab which is therefore flattened in shape, can be used either to weld it directly to the end of an electric cable, or to pierce it with a hole in which a screw can be inserted to fix the end of a cable or an electric bar, or even to connect it by insertion into a female contact to which the end of a cable or an electric bar is connected.
  • the invention is a method of manufacturing a fuse for an electrical circuit of a motor vehicle, as described in claim 7.
  • FIG. 4a An example of a fuse 1 according to the invention is shown in the Figures 4a, 4b and 4c . This results from the implementation of the method according to the invention on the part shown in the Figures 3a, 3b and 3c .
  • this fuse is a fuse intended to equip an electrical circuit in a motor vehicle.
  • This fuse comprises a body 2, two bases 3 and a fuse element 6.
  • the body 2 extends between two ends.
  • This body 2 has, in this example, a cylindrical wall of revolution around a longitudinal axis L.
  • This wall is made of insulating material.
  • This wall delimits a space interior in which is placed the fusible element 6 electrically connecting the two bases 3.
  • This fusible element 6 is for example a wire, a filament, a strip, etc., made of fusible metal or alloy.
  • Each of the bases 3 also comprises a cylindrical wall 7 of revolution around the longitudinal axis L, covering a longitudinal end of the wall of the body 2 and is closed by a transverse end wall 8, essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L.
  • This tab 9 extends from this transverse wall 8, opposite the body 2.
  • This tab 9 constitutes a single-piece part 5, with the base 3 which supports it.
  • This single-piece part 5 is for example made of a metal alloy or pure metal, for example pure copper (more than 99%).
  • each leg 9 has the shape of a cylinder, of revolution or not, to form a tab 10 after crushing.
  • a hollow cylinder also of revolution around the longitudinal axis L and having an external diameter smaller than that of the cylindrical wall 7 of the base or that of the cylindrical wall of the body 2.
  • One end of a cable (not shown) can optionally be inserted into this hollow cylinder before it is crushed, during a crimping operation.
  • the tab 9 is crushed to form a flattened tab 10, by compressing a portion of the tab 9 of each single-piece part 5, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L (see arrows on the Figure 4b ).
  • a tab 10 obtained from the crushing of a hollow cylinder is shown in the Figures 4a, 4b, 4c .
  • This tab 10 has for example a length D of 7 mm, and a cross section of 0.8 mm width l by 6.3 mm length m .
  • This tab 10 can be pierced with a hole in a direction perpendicular to its main faces (in a manner similar to the fuse shown in the Figures 2a and 2b ). In this hole, a screw can be inserted to secure the end of an electrical cable.
  • This tab 10 can also be electrically connected to a cable or a circuit by insertion into a female contact (in a manner similar to the fuse shown in the Figures 2c and 2d ).
  • This tab 10 can also be electrically connected to a cable or a circuit by soldering, on a cable, a circuit, a conductive bar, etc.
