具体实施方式
为使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本申请实施方式作进一步地详细描述。
在附图的描述中,使用“上”“下”等方位代词来描述零件之间的关系,需要说明的是,上述方位代词的使用仅为方便描述,对插座本身不造成任何限定。
本申请实施例提供了一种导电金属条,该导电金属条可以作为产品中的导体来对电流进行传导。下面对导电金属条的结构进行具体说明,参见图1,图1是本申请实施例提供的一种导电金属条3的结构示意图,该导电金属条3包括导电金属条本体31和至少一个凸台32,该凸台32内具有容置空间321,该容置空间321具有位于该凸台32的底部的开口。需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中,将凸台32与导电金属条本体31连接的一端描述为凸台32的底部,将凸台32的远离导电金属条本体31的一端描述为凸台32的端部。
本申请实施例所提供的导电金属条3,在导电金属条本体31上提供了具有容置空间321的凸台32,该凸台32内的容置空间321的形状与待连接的零件的形状适配,容置空间321的尺寸大于或等于待连接的零件的尺寸,这样在将导电金属条3与其他零件装配在一起的过程中,上述凸台32可以为待连接的零件提供插入的空间,使得待连接的零件可以从凸台32的底部的开口伸入至该容置空间321中,并与该凸台32的端部熔合,从而实现导电金属条3与该待连接的零件之间的固定连接。基于这种结构的导电金属条3,使得装配过程无需采用锡焊工艺,也就避免了焊渣的产生,不会遗留短路隐患,能够大大提高产品的安全性。
下面对上述凸台32的结构设计进行介绍:
对于凸台32来说,该容置空间321的横截面为长条形。这种横截面设计在制造过程中能够便于凸台32的成型,且能够增大待连接的零件与容置空间321内壁之间的接触面积,可以提高导电的效率。
在一种可能设计中,该容置空间321的纵截面的宽度从下至上逐渐变小。参见图3中提供的凸台32设计,可以看出该凸台32中容置空间321从下到上 逐渐变小。这种纵截面设计,在制造过程中能够便于凸台32的成型,且由于这种下面宽上面窄的设计,使得在装配过程中可以简易、快捷的将凸台32套装在待连接的零件上。
请继续参见图3,在一种可能设计中,该容置空间321的纵截面包括梯形截面3211以及第一矩形截面3212,该梯形截面3211位于该第一矩形截面3212的下方。在这种纵截面设计中,该第一矩形截面3212对应的凸台32的内壁呈竖直形态,在安装时,可以保证与待连接的零件的外壁平行,相比于该容置空间321的纵截面的宽度从下至上逐渐变小的结构,第一矩形截面3212的设计可以使待连接的零件与凸台32上部的内壁之间具有较大的接触面积,在对产品进行装配过程中,能够使得这两部分更快速的熔合,提高了产品的装配效率。在一种可能设计中,该第一矩形截面3212的宽度等于该梯形截面3211的上边长,以使凸台32中第一矩形截面3212与梯形截面3211连接处的内壁平滑过渡。考虑到可以通过多种不同的工艺加工该凸台32,成型后的凸台32中,该第一矩形截面3212的宽度也可以小于或大于该梯形截面3211的上边长,本申请实施例对此不作限定。为了便于装配,在零件的尺寸上,凸台32内的第一矩形截面3212的宽度与待连接的零件的宽度之差均为0.06~0.4mm,可以保证待连接的零件能够顺畅地插入到容置空间321中。
请继续参见图3,在一种可能设计中,凸台32的高度可以是1~3mm,该凸台32中第一矩形截面3212的高度为0.05~3mm,而第一矩形截面3212是用于与产品之间接触的区域,上述设计中第一矩形截面3212的高度在整个凸台高度中占比较大,这种凸台32设计,可以使待连接的零件与凸台32上部的内壁之间具有更大的接触面积,在对产品进行装配过程中,能够使得这两部分更快速的熔合,提高了产品的装配效率。
图4是本申请实施例提供的一种另一种导电金属条3的凸台32的前视截面图和左视截面图,请参见图4,在一种可能设计中,该容置空间321的纵截面还包括第二矩形截面3213,该第二矩形截面3213位于该梯形截面3211的下方。对于图4中的凸台32结构,其外部结构可以是与该容置空间321的形状匹配的结构,由图5可见,由于容置空间321的纵截面从下到上采用了矩形-梯形-矩形的结构,因此,从外部来说,该凸台32可以表现为由至少三个梯台构成的结构,例如,参见图5中的第一梯台322、第二梯台323和第三梯台324。这种纵截面 的设计,在凸台32壁厚均匀的情况下,使得凸台32上各个梯台之间的连接处可以形成棱部325,该棱部325可以起到加强凸台32的强度的作用。在一种可能设计中,该第二矩形截面3213的宽度等于该梯形截面3211的下边长,以使凸台32中第二矩形截面3213与梯形截面3211连接处的内壁平滑过渡。考虑到可以通过多种不同的工艺加工该凸台32,成型后的凸台32中,该第二矩形截面3213的宽度也可以小于或大于该梯形截面3211的下边长,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
需要说明的是,对于图4和图5中描述的凸台32的结构,在一种可能设计中,凸台32的高度可以是1~3mm,该凸台32中第一矩形截面3212的高度也可以为0.05~3mm,从而也可以使待连接的零件与凸台32上部的内壁之间具有更大的接触面积,提高产品的装配效率。
在上述可能设计中,为了保持该凸台32的导电性能均匀以及强度均匀,可以将该凸台32设计为均匀的壁厚,这种情况下,凸台32的外形和容置空间321的形状匹配。当然,出于对某个位置的强度要求等设计因素,还可以将凸台32的壁厚设计为不一致,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
在一种可能设计中,还可以将导电金属条本体31设计为一种加强结构,参见图1和图2,该导电金属条本体31可以具有至少一条加强筋33,该加强筋33位于两个凸台32之间。该加强筋33用于加强该导电金属条3的强度,避免导电金属条3变形,延长了产品的使用寿命。该加强筋33的数量可以根据实际需要设定。
在上述任一可能设计中,该凸台32与导电金属条3的导电金属条本体31之间圆滑过渡,以在连接处形成一个向内的圆弧面34,请参见图2,降低连接处的电阻,从而便于电流的传导。
在一种可能结构设计中,该凸台32的容置空间321可以形成一个通孔结构(如图1所示),在装配过程中,可以将待连接的零件从该凸台32的底部开口伸入凸台32的容置空间321,则技术人员可以通过该凸台32的端部开口来进行熔焊操作,使熔焊过程中凸台32和待连接的零件受热均匀,便于两者之间的快速熔合。
在另一种可能结构设计中,该凸台32的容置空间321可以形成一个仅在底部开口而端部封闭的腔体结构设计,参见图2。在熔焊过程中,该凸台32端部 的材料在受热熔化与凸台32内的零件同时受热熔化,并快速熔合。
对于导电金属条本体31来说,为了适应于不同的安装位置,其结构设计以及凸台32的位置设计可以有所不同,例如,该导电金属条本体31可以设计为条形(如图1和图2所示),这种条形的导电金属条本体31可以安装在产品的底部,对产品侧面空间的要求不高,可以降低产品的宽度。又例如,该导电金属条本体31包括条形主干311和支干312,该支干312的延伸方向与该条形主干311的延伸方向垂直,该凸台32位于该支干312上。这种结构的导电金属条3可以安装在产品的侧面,通过条形主干311来与电源对应的相线连接,通过支干312来与待连接的零件进行连接,对产品的垂直空间的要求不高,可以降低产品的厚度。
在上述任一可能设计中,该导电金属条3的材质为铜。采用铜材质的导电金属条3,具有导电性高、易于加工以及比较廉价等优点。
上述实施例中,对导电金属条的结构进行了介绍,下面对应用了上述导电金属条3的插座进行介绍。
参见图6,本申请实施例所提供的插座包括:壳体1、至少一个插套座2以及至少两根导电金属条3。该壳体1具有至少两个插座孔11,该插套座2和该导电金属条3位于该壳体1内。该插套座2包括座体21和至少两个插套22,该座体21具有与该插座孔11对应的槽位,该插套22位于该槽位中;该插套22包括夹持部221和连接部222,该夹持部221用于夹持插头上的插销,该连接部222用于连接该导电金属条3。导电金属条3分别对应不同极性的插套22,且导电金属条3具有导电金属条本体31和至少一个凸台32,该凸台32内具有容置空间321,该插套22的连接部222位于该凸台32内的容置空间321内,且该连接部222与该凸台32的端部熔合。
本申请实施例提供的插座中,插套22以及导电金属条3之间的固定连接,是通过插套22的连接部222与导电金属条3的凸台32的端部熔合为一体来实现的,而由于熔焊工艺与原有的锡焊工艺不同,不会产生焊渣,因此,也就避免了焊渣的产生,不会遗留短路隐患,能够大大提高插座的安全性。
下面基于上述结构,对所涉及的各个零件进行分别介绍:
壳体1
请参见图6,该壳体1用于容纳至少一个插套座2以及至少两根导电金属条3。壳体1包括上壳体12和下壳体13,上壳体12和下壳体13可以通过扣装方式装配在一起。
通过图7所示出的前视图,可以看出,该上壳体12上具有至少一个插位区域14,每个插位区域14上具有至少两个插座孔11,在使用插座的过程中,可以将一个电器插头的插销插入一个插位区域14内的插座孔11中,以实现电器与插座之间的电连接。需要说明的是,一个插位区域14可以有不同的设计,在一个插位区域14可以包括两个插座孔11,从而可以用于插入具有两个插销的插头,还可以包括三个插座孔11,从而可以用于插入具有三个插销的插头,而为了缩小插座的体积,提高插座的可复用性,插位区域14还可以包括五个插座孔11(如图7中所示),也即是,该插位区域14可以用于插入具有两个插销的插头,还可以用于插入具有三个插销的插头。
该壳体1可以采用绝缘材料,绝缘材料的绝缘性强,可以在保护内部元件的同时,还可以保障使用安全。例如,该绝缘材料可以为塑料,这种材料既绝缘又耐磨损,且弹性和强度都较好。
至少一个插套座2
对应于图7中的每个插位区域14,在壳体内部安装有一个插套座2,图8是本申请实施例提供的一种插座的前视内部结构图,参见图8,该插套座2包括座体21和至少两个插套22,该座体21具有与该插座孔11对应的槽位,该插套22位于该槽位中,插套22由能够导电的金属材料制成。
继续参见图8,该至少一个插套座2用于插入适配的插头,以连接电器和插座。对于一个插座套2来说,其所包括的座体21中槽位的形状和尺寸与插套22适配。而需要说明的是,对于一个插套座2来说,其座体21上的槽位形状和尺寸可设置为不同的形状和尺寸,从而用于插入不同形态的插销。在本申请实施例所提供的插座中,上述槽位与插座孔11的数量和位置均对应设置,使得安装于槽位内的插套22与插座孔11形成一一对应的关系,从插座孔11插入的插销能够插入插套座211中插套22,以实现电器和插座之间的连接。
在上述实施例中,一个插套座2所具有的插套22的数量,以及相应的插位 区域14中插座孔的数量,可以根据该插座所支持的国家标准不同而不同。例如,若插座为GB1002标准,则一个插套座2上的插套22的数量为2~3个;又例如,若插座为GB1003标准,则一个插套座2上的插套22的数量为4个。需要说明的是,对于一个插座来说,该插座上的插套座2所具有的插套22的数量可以不完全一致,也即是,一个插座上可以包括具有2个插套22的插套座2以及具有3个插套22的插套座2,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
下面对插套座2中的插套22进行介绍:
请参见图9,上述插套22包括夹持部221和连接部222,该夹持部221用于夹持插头上的插销,该连接部222用于连接该导电金属条3。
该夹持部221可以采用任一种具有夹持功能的结构实现,例如,图9提供了一种夹持部221,该夹持部221可以由两个具有弹性的夹持片构成,插销在插入到该两个加持片中时,可以被该两个加持片向内的弹力所固定,从而保证连接的可靠性。又例如,该夹持部221还可以是一个金属环,插销在插入到该金属环内时,可以与金属环的内侧接触,从而实现电连接。对于夹持部221来说,其材质可以为铜,从而使得插套22具有导电性高、易于加工以及比较廉价等优点。
该连接部222可以是夹持部221的延伸结构,该连接部222具体形状和尺寸可以与导电金属条3上凸台32的设计适配。例如,该连接部222可以为一长条形的导电结构,又例如,该连接部222可以包括有相连接的梯台结构和长条形结构(如图9中所示),本申请实施例对其具体采用何种结构不作限定。
而对于连接部222来说,其材质也可以为铜,也即是,在一种可能设计中,该插套22的材质为铜,从而使得插套22具有导电性高、易于加工以及比较廉价等优点。插套2和导电金属条3均为铜制,能够提高两者之间的熔合速度和熔合质量。
请参见图10,该连接部222可以包括多层导电金属片2221。这种多层导电金属片2221叠置的结构可以提高该连接部222的强度。在熔焊过程中,多层导电金属片2221的结构的熔化速度较之于相同厚度的单层导电金属片要快很多,也即是,这种结构可以降低熔焊耗时,从而提高插座的装配效率。
在连接部222采用多层导电金属片2221的结构的情况下,还可以采用下述 任一种结构来构成上述多层导电金属片2221。第一种结构:该多层导电金属片2221由一片导电金属片弯折而成。参见图10,每两层导电金属片的一侧边缘是连接的,这种弯折结构的导电金属片,强度较高,而且可以降低对导电金属片的切割次数,加工成本降低。而且,由于每层导电金属片之间相连接,使得连接部222的导电性能更好,不会由于加工工艺的问题而增加电阻。第二种结构:该多层导电金属片2221包括多片独立导电金属片,也即是,每层导电金属片的边缘之间不相连,这种多片导电金属片叠置而成的导电金属片,其制造过程简易,加工成本较低。
在本申请实施例提供的另一可能设计中,还可以通过对连接部222的不同形状来提高连接部222本身的强度,并保证连接部222能够在装配后与所连接元件紧密接触,也即是,该连接部222的至少一个侧壁上包括至少一个凸起2222(如图11所示)。侧壁上具有凸起2222的连接部222可以采用任一种结构实现,例如,参见图12,该图12提供了一种在同一个侧壁上具有两个凸起2222的连接部222;又例如,参见图13,该图13提供了一种在两个侧壁上各具有一个凸起2222的连接部222,但是该两个凸起2222的凸起位置不同,如图13所示,两个凸起2222分别位于连接部222的不同位置,且两个凸起2222形成波浪状;再例如,参见图14,该图14提供了一种在两个侧壁上各具有一个凸起2222的连接部222,这种情况下,该连接部222由两层导电金属片构成,每层导电金属片在相同的位置具有向不同方向凸出的凸起2222。本申请实施例对连接部222具体采用上述哪种凸起2222不作限定。
在图11至图13中,在连接部222一侧凸起的同时,另一侧的相应位置呈凹槽状,通过基于连接部222本身上的弯折来形成凸起2222,可以在保证强度和紧密连接的同时,节省材料。而在另一种可能设计中,如图15所示,在连接部222一侧凸起的同时,另一侧的相应位置可以呈平面状,也即是,该凸起2222为凸出于平整的连接部222的本体之外的一部分材料,这种结构便于成型。
进一步地,请参见图16,该凸起2222可以是基于该连接部222的对称面2223的对称结构,避免由于凸起2222的不规则形状导致凸起2222左右两侧的电流不均匀,进而避免长期使用过程中连接部222的损耗,延长使用寿命。
需要说明的是,上述凸起2222和连接部222的其他部分之间的连接处可以采用圆滑过渡的设计,从而可以避免影响电流的传导。
当然,上述凸起2222还可以采用任一种有利于强度和零件之间紧密连接的设计,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
插座中的至少两根导电金属条3
需要说明的是,在上述导电金属条3的实施例中,主要介绍了装配之前的导电金属条3的结构设计,而对于导电金属条3来说,凸台32的端部在其装配前和装配后的结构可能发生一定变化。
若导电金属条3上凸台32采用容置空间321为通孔的设计(如图1所示),在将凸台32套装在上述连接部222上时,可以将连接部222从该凸台32的底部开口伸入凸台32的容置空间321,并从该凸台的顶部开口伸出,以形成如图17中所示的结构,其截面视图可以参见图18中所示,套装完毕后,操作人员可以通过加热该连接部222伸出的部分来进行熔焊操作,凸台32和连接部222在受热后熔合,以形成如图6所示的形状。
若导电金属条3上凸台32采用容置空间321为底部开口端部封闭的腔体结构设计(如图2所示),在将凸台32套装在上述连接部222上时,可以将连接部222从该凸台32的底部开口伸入凸台32的容置空间321,以形成如图19中所示的结构,其截面视图可以参见图20中所示,套装完毕后,操作人员可以通过加热该凸台32的端部来进行熔焊操作,凸台32和连接部222在受热后熔合,以形成如图6所示的形状。
在一种可能结构设计中,对于凸台32来说,该容置空间321的横截面为长条形。这种横截面设计在制造过程中能够便于凸台32的成型,且能够增大插座中插套22的连接部222与容置空间321内壁之间的接触面积,可以提高导电的效率。
在一种可能设计中,该容置空间321的纵截面的宽度从下至上逐渐变小。参见图3中提供的凸台32设计,可以看出该凸台32中容置空间321从下到上逐渐变小。这种纵截面设计,在制造过程中能够便于凸台32的成型,且由于这种下面宽上面窄的设计,使得在装配过程中可以简易、快捷的将凸台32套装在插套22的连接部222上。
在一种可能设计中,该容置空间321的纵截面包括梯形截面3211以及第一矩形截面3212,该梯形截面3211位于该第一矩形截面3212的下方。在这种纵 截面设计中,该第一矩形截面3212对应的凸台32的内壁呈竖直形态,在安装时,可以保证与待连接的零件的外壁平行,相比于该容置空间321的纵截面的宽度从下至上逐渐变小的结构,第一矩形截面3212的设计可以使待连接的零件与凸台32上部的内壁之间具有较大的接触面积,在对产品进行装配过程中,能够使得这两部分更快速的熔合,提高了产品的装配效率。在一种可能设计中,该第一矩形截面3212的宽度等于该梯形截面3211的上边长,以使凸台32中第一矩形截面3212与梯形截面3211连接处的内壁平滑过渡。考虑到可以通过多种不同的工艺加工该凸台32,成型后的凸台32中,该第一矩形截面3212的宽度也可以小于或大于该梯形截面3211的上边长,本申请实施例对此不作限定。为了便于装配,在零件的尺寸上,凸台32内的第一矩形截面3212的宽度与待连接的零件的宽度之差均为0.06~0.4mm,可以保证待连接的零件能够顺畅地插入到容置空间321中。
请继续参见图3,在一种可能设计中,凸台32的高度可以是1~3mm,该凸台32中第一矩形截面3212的高度为0.05~3mm,而第一矩形截面3212是用于与产品之间接触的区域,上述设计中第一矩形截面3212的高度在整个凸台高度中占比较大,这种凸台32设计,可以使待连接的零件与凸台32上部的内壁之间具有更大的接触面积,在对产品进行装配过程中,能够使得这两部分更快速的熔合,提高了产品的装配效率。
图4是本申请实施例提供的一种另一种导电金属条3的凸台32的前视截面图和左视截面图,请参见图4,在一种可能设计中,该容置空间321的纵截面还包括第二矩形截面3213,该第二矩形截面3213位于该梯形截面3211的下方。对于图4中的凸台32结构,图5示出了该凸台32的外观结构示意图。由图5可见,该凸台32可以由至少三个梯台构成,例如,参见图5中的第一梯台322、第二梯台323和第三梯台324。这种纵截面的设计,在凸台32壁厚均匀的情况下,使得凸台32上各个梯台之间的连接处可以形成棱部325,该棱部325可以起到加强凸台32的强度的作用。使得凸台32与连接部222之间的连接更加稳固,不易随着使用时间的延长而变形,延长了插座的使用寿命。在一种可能设计中,该第二矩形截面3213的宽度等于该梯形截面3211的下边长,以使凸台32中第二矩形截面3213与梯形截面3211连接处的内壁平滑过渡。考虑到可以通过多种不同的工艺加工该凸台32,成型后的凸台32中,该第二矩形截面3213 的宽度也可以小于或大于该梯形截面3211的下边长,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
在上述可能设计中,为了保持该凸台32的导电性能均匀以及强度均匀,可以将该凸台32设计为均匀的壁厚,这种情况下,凸台32的外形和容置空间321的形状匹配。当然,出于对某个位置的强度要求等设计因素,还可以将凸台32的壁厚设计为不一致,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
针对于不同的插座型号,导电金属条3的安装位置可能不同,相应的,该导电金属条3的结构可能有一些变化。例如,对于一些插座来说,其导电金属条3可以位于该插套座2的底部(如图6所示),也即是,导电金属条3被安装于靠近下壳体13的位置。在这种情况下,该导电金属条本体31可以设计为条形,这种条形的导电金属条本体31可以安装在插套座2的底部,对插座侧面空间的要求不高,可以降低插座的宽度。
又例如,对于一些插座来说,其导电金属条3可以位于该插套座2的侧面(如图21~图22所示),也即是,导电金属条3被安装于靠近上壳体12的位置。在这种情况下,该导电金属条3位于该插套座2的侧面,且该导电金属条本体31包括条形主干311和支干312,该支干312的延伸方向与该条形主干311的延伸方向垂直,该凸台32位于该支干312上。这种结构的导电金属条3可以安装在插套座2的侧面,通过条形主干311来与电源对应的相线连接,通过支干312来与插套22的连接部222进行连接,对插座的垂直空间的要求不高,可以降低插座的厚度。
在一种可能设计中,还可以将导电金属条本体31设计为一种加强结构,参见图1和图2,该导电金属条本体31可以具有至少一条加强筋33,该加强筋33位于两个凸台32之间。该加强筋33用于加强该导电金属条3的强度,避免导电金属条3变形,延长了插座的使用寿命。该加强筋33的数量可以根据实际需要设定。例如,该插座上可以设有并排的三个插套座2,相应地,一根导电金属条3上可以设三个凸台32,这三个凸台32之间可以设置两个加强筋33。
在上述任一可能设计中,该凸台32与导电金属条3的导电金属条本体31之间圆滑过渡,以在连接处形成一个向内的圆弧面,降低连接处的电阻,从而便于电流的传导。
在上述任一可能设计中,该导电金属条3的材质为铜。采用铜材质的导电 金属条3,具有导电性高、易于加工以及比较廉价等优点。
图23~图26是本申请实施例提供的一种插座的装配过程示意图,该方法用于装配如上述实施例所提供的插座,请参见图23~图26,该方法包括:
步骤1、准备壳体1、至少一个插套座2以及至少两根导电金属条3(参见图23)。
其中,壳体1可以是由绝缘材料经过注射成型工艺加工而成,也即是,在将绝缘材料加热熔化后,注射到闭合模具的模腔中,以形成壳体1。在采用注射成型工艺进行生产的过程中,先基于所需的壳体设计制造出模具,再使用模具批量生产,生产过程快速可靠。
插套座2包括座体21和至少两个插套22,插套22设置在座体21的槽位中。上述座体21也可以是由绝缘材料经过注射成型工艺加工而成的,其成型工艺原理与壳体1的相同,在此不再赘述。
该插套22包括夹持部221和连接部222,该夹持部221可以包括两个具有弹性的夹持片,用于夹持插头上的插销。该插套22可以是由导电金属板料通过弯折工艺加工而成,通过将夹持片向内弯折,使上述两个夹持片具有向内的弹力。在一种可能设计中,该插套22的材质为铜,从而使得插套22具有导电性高、易于加工以及比较廉价等优点。
其中,若连接部222采用多层导电金属片2221的结构设计,则可以准备宽度为连接部222的多倍的导电金属片,对其进行至少一次折叠和压紧,从而形成弯折结构,并且减小相邻导电金属片之间的缝隙,从而降低后续与凸台32之间的焊接过程的虚焊风险。该多层导电金属片2221的结构设计,还可以通过将该多层独立导电金属片进行叠置加工得到,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
该至少两个导电金属条3的凸台32可以通过在导电金属条3原料进行冲压操作来成型(请参见图27)。对于上述实施例中所涉及的不同形状的容置空间321设计,可以通过至少两次冲压来成型,也即是,先在导电金属条3原料上通过冲压操作形成一个小凸台32,再在该小凸台32的基础上进一步进行冲压操作,以形成具有更高高度的凸台32,以克服冲压操作本身的高度限制。
进一步地,若该导电金属条3上需要增加加强筋33的设计,则可以使用模具对该导电金属条3的导电金属条本体31进行冲压,使被冲压部分的材料下陷, 形成加强筋33。
步骤2、将导电金属条3的凸台32套装在插套座2中插套22的连接部222上,以形成如图24所示的形态。
在该步骤中,可以将该插套22的连接部222从该凸台32的底部开口伸入该凸台32,使得该连接部222从该凸台32的端部开口伸出。可选地,该伸出部分的长度可以在0.5~2mm之间,从而便于后续熔焊操作的进行,还能够保证凸台32和连接部222的熔合更加充分,从而保证零件之间的连接强度。同时,在上述设计中,该伸出部分是熔焊操作的母材,上述高度可以保证这部分母材的量不多不少,既不会削弱连接效果,也不会造成材料的浪费。
在另一种可能实现方式中,在将该连接部222从凸台32的底部开口伸入该凸台32后,还可以保持该连接部222的端部与凸台32端部开口平齐,或低于该端部开口,从而使得零件的使用场景更加灵活,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
在将导电金属条3的凸台32套装在插套22的连接部222上时,可以保持该连接部222在凸台32的容置空间321中处于居中状态(请参见图28中的俯视图和正视图),也即是,该连接部222的各个侧面与凸台32的相应内壁之间的缝隙相等,该距离可以为0.03~0.2mm之间,保持该较小的距离,可以使得在熔焊过程中熔化掉的材料能够迅速将连接部222和凸台32的端部熔合在一起,而不至于通过缝隙流走而造成材料的浪费,能够降低熔焊耗时,提高装配效率。
步骤3、采用熔焊工艺,熔化该连接部222与该凸台32端部的材料,使该连接部222与该凸台32端部的材料熔合,从而连接该导电金属条3和该插套22,以形成如图25所示的形态。
在一种可能实现方式中,该熔焊工艺可以采用钨极作为焊接头,进行微电弧焊,以实现对材料的熔合。可选地,该微电弧焊过程可以采用氩气保护,在熔焊过程中,保持氩气的流速在5~20L/min(分),从而可以保证焊接部位隔绝空气,避免发生氧化现象,提高焊接质量。
可选地,在熔焊过程中,采用的焊接电流为40~80A,采用这种强度范围的电流,便于熔焊过程中对温度进行控制,以提高装配的安全性。可选地,该熔焊工艺采用的焊接时间为0.1~0.3s,而将焊接时间控制在这个时间范围内,便于熔焊过程对温度和熔焊进度进行控制。
可以参考如图29所示的焊接过程所示的焊接方式,将焊接头置于已套装完 成的凸台32和连接部222上方,将该焊接头与焊接位置之间距离保持在1~5mm来进行熔焊操作,以使得连接部222的一部分材料和凸台32的一部分材料能够熔化而形成如图30所示的熔池,待熔池固化后,则可以使得连接部222与凸台32熔合为一体(如图31所示)。通过上述实施例中对操作的距离进行控制,便于对温度和熔焊进度进行控制,能对凸台32和连接部222充分焊接的基础上避免加热插套座2,保证插套座2的质量,也能够有效的提高装配的安全性。
步骤4、将连接好的该导电金属条3和该插套22装配在壳体1中,以形成如图7和图26所示的插座(图7示出了插座的从前侧观察的立体形态,图26示出了插座的从后侧观察的立体形态)。
在该步骤中,在导电金属条3和位于插套座2中的插套22连接完成后,将插套座2装嵌在上壳体12的固定槽内,从而将插座套2固定在上壳体12中。将各个导电金属条3的远离插套22的连接部222的一端与电源的各个相线之间连接起来,该插座可以实现其导电功能后,将下壳体13扣装在上壳体12上,覆盖上壳体12内部的各元件,完成装配。
需要说明的是,上述步骤仅为插座的装配过程的一个示例,根据生产情况的不同,插座还可以有其他的装配过程,本申请实施例对装配步骤之间的具体顺序不作限定。例如,先将内设有插套22的插套座2固定在上壳体12中,再将导电金属条3的凸台32套装在插套座2中插套22的连接部222上并熔焊,最后将下壳体13扣装在上壳体12上,完成装配。
上述熔焊工艺中,两种母材均熔化后形成一体,能够避免虚焊,零件之间的连接强度高,且连接处耐受的电流强度高,降低了使用过程中连接处在通电过程中熔化的可能。
若采用锡焊过程,由于手工操作具有不可控的问题,很可能会出现送锡过多或焊接不良等情况,使得锡金属遗留在插座内部,在后续插座的使用过程中,就可能造成的插座短路等后果,因此,用熔焊工艺来替代锡焊工艺,可以保证插座的安全性。同时,采用熔焊工艺,还可以避免焊锡丝可能造成的污染,达到保护环境的目的。
在成本方面,采用熔焊方式,相对于锡焊,具有较高的经济价值,例如,对于九个凸台32和九个连接部222之间的分别焊接的过程,传统锡焊的成本是0.07249元,熔焊的成本为0.03034元,传统锡焊的成本约为熔焊的2.4倍,也 即是,熔焊的成本约为传统锡焊的41.8%。
本申请的插座在装配过程中,将导电金属条3的凸台32套装在插套座2中插套22的连接部222上,采用熔焊工艺,使插套22的连接部222与导电金属条3的凸台32的端部熔合为一体,来实现插套22以及导电金属条3之间的固定连接,而由于熔焊工艺与原有的锡焊工艺不同,不会产生焊渣,因此,也就避免了焊渣的产生,不会遗留短路隐患,能够大大提高插座的安全性。同时,避免焊锡丝可能造成的污染,保护环境。并且上述熔焊工艺连接强度高,能够降低装配成本。
上述所有可选技术方案,可以采用任意结合形成本申请的可选实施例,在此不再一一赘述。
上述仅为本申请的可选实施例,并不用以限制本申请,凡在本申请的精神和原则之内,所作的任何修改、等同替换、改进等,均应包含在本申请的保护范围之内。
