Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mounting element for connecting two objects, in particular two parts of the device.
  • the parts to be connected generally have to be dimensioned sufficiently so that the screw is not properly gripped or torn out if the wall thickness or the like is too small.
  • Another disadvantage is the considerable space required due to the screws used, which is not available, in particular in the case of highly integrated electrical and electronic devices, or can only be created by making the devices larger.
  • Screws if this is possible at all or justifiable in terms of effort. Disassembly is either in the case of a Maintenance or repair of the device or necessary as part of recycling.
  • the invention is based on the problem of specifying a mounting element which permits simple connection of two objects.
  • a mounting element which consists at least partially of a shape memory alloy and has a first shape in the assembled state and a second shape in the final assembly position, which mechanically connects the objects, which it uses before using the shape memory -Properties were impressed, and the first form of which is that of a rivet with a rivet head that can be placed on an object, and an elongated rivet shaft that widens in the assembly end position to a head-like widening that engages behind the other object.
  • the mounting element according to the invention advantageously consists at least partially of a shape memory alloy, also called memory metal.
  • a shape memory alloy also called memory metal.
  • Such a material has the property that it can change its shape depending on the temperature.
  • the rivet-shaped mounting element which in the assembled state has a first shape with an elongated rivet shaft, is inserted through corresponding bores or openings of the objects to be connected, for example two housing shells, which receive the shaft.
  • the rivet is then heated. Above a phase transition temperature, the phase of the alloy changes from a low temperature phase to a high temperature phase (e.g. from martensite to austenite).
  • the high temperature phase is a second form, taking advantage of the shape memory properties.
  • the phase change changes the shape of the rivet, which according to the invention widens like a head in the area of the shaft, so that it engages behind the other object.
  • the invention therefore allows a connection by simply plugging in the mounting element and increasing the temperature accordingly.
  • the objects are firmly connected to one another, this connection taking place very quickly, easily and without effort, since the device only has to be transported through a heating furnace, for example.
  • the mounting element takes up much less space than a connection screw which is often of considerable length, which is why it can be used in particular in small devices.
  • the requirements with regard to the dimensioning of the connection areas are also not as with a screw connection, rather material can be saved in these areas.
  • the shape memory alloy shows a renewed phase change when cooled sufficiently, and changes from the high-temperature phase to the low-temperature phase.
  • the high temperature phase is significantly harder than the low temperature phase.
  • martensite is softer by a factor of 5 than austenite. This makes it easy to remove the rivet when it is soft.
  • Valuable components and unloaded components such as plastic housings, yokes, anchors, memory components, precious metal contacts etc. can be easily recovered and reused in this way.
  • connection according to the invention is not loosened by vibrations and the action of force. Rather, a non-positive connection that is under tension is realized.
  • the shaft end slits longitudinally one or more times is. This makes it possible for the shaft ends to bend outwards when the shape is increased due to the temperature increase and to reach behind the object.
  • a simple longitudinal slit is already sufficient, which means that the shaft ends bend in opposite directions.
  • a cross recess is also conceivable, so that a total of four shaft sections bend outwards.
  • Another alternative to the invention provides that at least the shaft end is shortened and at the same time widened during the change of shape into the second shape.
  • the shortening and widening leads to an increase in the diameter, the widened area of the shaft engaging behind the object.
  • the mounting element consists of a shape memory alloy which has a transition temperature at which a high temperature phase forms due to an increase in temperature and the rivet assumes the second shape, and one of at least 30 °, better 50 ° below this transformation temperature, at which the transformation into the low-temperature phase occurs during cooling.
  • the different conversion temperatures are therefore as far apart as possible in order to avoid that any temperature fluctuations can have any negative effects.
  • the transition temperature for the transition to the high temperature phase can be> 40 ° C, in particular> 50 ° C and the transition temperature for the transition to the low temperature phase can be ⁇ 0 ° C, in particular ⁇ - 40 ° C.
  • the shape memory alloy can have a one-way effect.
  • the rivet converts to the second form when the temperature rises; when the temperature falls below the second phase formation temperature, only a phase transition into the low-temperature phase occurs, but the second form is retained. The material therefore only becomes soft, but retains its shape-related shape. An easy disassembly is still possible due to the softness of the material.
  • the shape memory alloy has a two-way effect, in which the rivet assumes the embossed first shape when it is converted into the low-temperature phase.
  • the rivet changes between the two embossed shapes. This means that in the event of cooling for dismantling, the rivet returns to its original form of assembly with an elongated shaft. The mechanical connection can be released very easily.
  • the shape memory alloy itself can be a TiNi or NiMn or CuAl alloy, which may also contain at least one further alloy partner.

  • the rivet has a rivet head 2 and an essentially cylindrical rivet shaft 3.
  • the rivet shaft can of course also have any other cross section.
  • the rivet shank 3 is slit over part of its length by means of its longitudinal cut 4, the slit opening into a through hole 5.
  • the mounting element 1, that is to say the rivet, is inserted into two mutually aligned bores 6, 7 of two objects 8, 9 to be connected to one another.
  • These objects can be, for example, two housing halves of a device or the like.
  • the diameter of the through holes 6, 7 is slightly larger than the diameter of the rivet.
  • the rivet is pushed in until the rivet head 2 lies against the object 9.
  • the rivet is inserted, for example, at room temperature.

  • the two shaft sections 10, 11, which result from the longitudinal section 4 bend outward and engage behind the object 8, as can be seen in FIG. 2 , In this way, a firm mechanical connection of the two objects 8, 9 is realized.
  • the mounting element is set to a temperature well below the first phase formation temperature of e.g. Cooled to 50 ° C, e.g. to approx. -40 ° C. At or below this temperature, a new phase transition into the low-temperature phase occurs, in which the shape memory alloy was originally in the assembly form, as shown in FIG. 1. Due to the cooling of the phase change that occurs, the rivet is in a softer phase, which means that the material is much softer than in the high-temperature phase. If the shape memory alloy shows a one-way effect, the final assembly position adopted according to FIG. 2 or this shape is retained despite the phase change.

  • first transition temperature 50 ° C
  • second transition temperature approx. -40 ° C
  • the curve shown in FIG. 4 shows a corresponding hysteresis curve. If the rivet is used at room temperature RT and then heated above 50 ° C, a strong formation of austenite appears. The material becomes very hard overall, the change to the second bent shape begins. This hard state and thus the high austenite content is retained during subsequent cooling until the second phase formation temperature of -40 ° C is reached or fallen below. The austenite content then drops due to the formation of the martensite phase, the material becomes soft. If an alloy with a two-way effect is used, the new shape change begins at the same time.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 show a further mounting element 12 according to the invention.
  • This is also designed as a rivet with a rivet head 13 and an elongated, for example cylindrical rivet shaft 14. If the mounting element is in the aligned bores 15, 16 of the two objects 17, 18 inserted and then heated, the shaft 14 shortens and widens at the same time with this mounting element. As a result, a head-like widening 19 is formed in the region of the shaft end, which obviously engages behind the object 17.
  • all the actuators or actuator strips shown are at least partially made of a known shape memory alloy. Examples of such alloys are Ti-Ni alloys, the Ti component and the Ni component forming the main components and other alloy partners may also be present.
  • Cu-Al alloys with other alloy partners are also known, it being possible for the proportion of the Al component to be larger or smaller than that of the further alloy partner.
  • Ti-Ni alloys are particularly suitable. So go z. B. from “Materials Science and Engineering, Vol. A 202, 1995, pages 148 to 156 differently composed Ti-Ni and Ti-Ni-Cu alloys. In “Intermetallic *, Vol. 3, 1995, pages 35 to 46 and” Scripta METALLURGICA et MATERIALIA *, Vol. 27, 1992, pages 1097 to 1102, various Ti 5 oNi 5 o- ⁇ Pd x shape memory alloys are described. Instead of the Ti-Ni alloys, other shape memory alloys are of course also suitable. For example, Cu-Al shape memory alloys come into question. A corresponding Cu-Zn24A13 alloy is from “Z. Metallkde. ", Vol. 79, H. 10,
  • a further Cu-Al-Ni shape memory alloy is described in "Scripta Materialia", Vol. 34, No. 2, 1996, pages 255 to 260.
  • alloy partners such as eg B. Hf, Pd, Au, Pt, Cr or optionally Ti may be added in a manner known per se, for example the proportion of this at least one further component is less than 5 atomic percent, but it can also vary more Binary memory metals, including those for Ni-Mn alloys, are mentioned in “Transactions of the ASME", vol. 121, Jan. 1999, pages 98 to 101.
  • Another advantage of the mounting element according to the invention is that the connected housing parts, if they are conductive, can be electrically contacted by the rivet, which for reasons of electromagnetic contract Lichity and for protective mechanisms of the housing is advantageous.
