Description

Contact element
Technical Field
The invention relates to a contact element having a particularly annular conductor receptacle.
Background
A contact element with an elastically designed contact tongue for contacting a connecting element is known from DE 19735409 a 1.
Disclosure of Invention
According to the invention, the conductor receptacle has a contact bearing which is designed to electrically contact the conductor longitudinal section. The contact element has at least one tongue or lug which is integrally formed on the conductor receptacle and is designed to contact the conductor section with at least one transverse component or transversely in a pressing manner. The tongue is designed to swing in towards the wire and to contact the wire at least over a longitudinal section of the wire in a cutting-in and/or pressing-in manner. The tongue or the web is designed to press the line section against the pressing support in the pivoted-in state. Advantageously, for cold contacting the conductor, a contact element can be provided cost-effectively. It is further advantageous if the wire can be scraped during the pivoting movement of the tongue or the connecting lug when the tongue or the connecting lug is pivoted into the pivoted-in position of the connecting lug, so that the oxide layer and/or the lacquer layer can be removed during the contacting. Further advantageously, by means of the contact element thus formed, the conductor can be held largely free of load in its longitudinal direction during the contacting process.
Preferably, the contact element is designed such that, in the case of a lug or tongue which is pivoted or bent outward from the passage opening, the line can be introduced through the passage opening into the line receptacle without force, in particular without a force which is arranged opposite the contact element. Advantageously, a plurality of wires can be contacted, which are similarly bent under the generation of a similar pressing force in the case of a plurality of contact elements, into which the wires can be pushed against a spring force in the longitudinal direction thereof for contacting the contact elements.
In a preferred embodiment, the contact element, in particular the line receptacle, has a passage, wherein the press-on support is formed by a passage wall and the tongue or the web projects into the passage in the pivoted-in state. Preferably, the passage is surrounded by an annular wire receptacle. The contact element can therefore advantageously be provided in a space-saving and cost-effective manner.
In a preferred embodiment, the tongue or the web has at least two, or only two, raised regions formed at a distance from one another on the tongue or the web, which raised regions are designed to contact the conductor at two mutually different locations in the circumferential direction. In this case, the raised region preferably forms the pressure bearing. Therefore, the wires can be reliably electrically contacted. Further advantageously, the wires can be electrically contacted with low impedance.
In a preferred embodiment, the tongue has at least one cut, which is designed to remove a coating of varnish of the conductor at least over a longitudinal section of the conductor and to electrically contact the conductor there. Advantageously, it is possible to electrically contact an enamelled copper wire, which is for example a component of an electric motor winding of a stator of an electric machine, in a simple and cost-effective manner.
In a preferred embodiment, the contact element has a press-in contact, which is designed to be plugged into a printed circuit board. Advantageously, with the contact element thus configured, a press connection can be produced between the contact element and the conductor without mechanically loading the printed circuit board when the contact element is connected by the conductor.
In a preferred embodiment, the tongue or the web has a toggle joint, which is configured to increase the pressure towards the longitudinal section of the wire. Advantageously, therefore, a high contact pressure can be generated in order to produce a cold-welded connection between the contact element, in particular the tongue, and the wire longitudinal section or additionally between the contact bearing and the wire longitudinal section. That is, it has been recognized that: the effective resistance of the press-connection, which is dependent on the pressing force, decreases significantly with increasing pressing force.
In a preferred embodiment, the passage is rectangular or oval in shape. Preferably, the annular wire receptacle is of rectangular or oval configuration. Advantageously, the tongue is able to swing within the through-opening towards the conductor.
In a preferred embodiment, the contact element is formed at least in the region of the conductor receptacle or completely by a sheet metal part, in particular a stamped or laser-cut sheet metal part. In this embodiment, the contact elements are configured as a stamped grid, also referred to as a lead frame. Advantageously, the contact element can be provided cost-effectively by stamping, laser cutting and sheet-metal deformation, in particular bending or flanging.
In a preferred embodiment, the contact element has at least one raised region which is arranged in the region of the pressure bearing and is configured to contact the longitudinal section of the line at least one circumferential section. Preferably, the contact element has two or three raised regions in the region of the pressure bearing, which raised regions are configured to contact the line in the region of the longitudinal section. Advantageously, multiple contacts through the wire can produce low effective resistance and reliable contact.
In a preferred embodiment, the line receptacle is formed by a ring, wherein the connecting lug or tongue is located in the passage in the pivoted-in state, the passage being surrounded by the ring. Advantageously, the contact element can be designed in a space-saving manner.
Preferably, the contact element is made of copper. The copper is preferably a copper alloy. Such as a copper-tin alloy, in particular CuSn4, CuSn6, or a copper alloy according to US standard universal numbering system C18018. In another embodiment, the copper alloy has 0.8 to 1.8 percent nickel, 0.15 to 0.35 percent silicon, and 0.01 to 0.05 percent phosphorus. Preferably, the copper alloy is an alloy according to standard UNS-C-19010.
The invention also relates to a method for contacting a longitudinal section of the conductor. In the method, the line section is guided through an eyelet, in particular an eyelet loop, of the contact element, and a lug formed on the eyelet is pivoted into the eyelet in order to produce an electrical contact with the line longitudinal section. During the inward pivoting, the longitudinal section of the conductor is pressed against a pressing bearing which is formed by a bore wall, in particular a circumferential section of a bore ring of the bore, and in this case the conductor is contacted by means of the tongues, in particular by cold welding.

Detailed Description
Fig. 1 schematically shows an embodiment of a contact element 1 in a top view. The contact element 1 has a conductor receptacle 3 in the form of an annular eyelet. In this exemplary embodiment, the conductor receptacle 3 surrounds a passage 15 into which a lug 4, in particular a bent lug, formed on the conductor receptacle 3 projects.
Fig. 1 shows the contact element 1 in a plan view and in a side view. The annularly configured wire receptacle 3 has two raised regions 7 and 8 at the circumferential section of the annular wire receptacle 3 and spaced apart from one another along the circumferential section of the annular wire receptacle 3 and molded thereto. The raised regions 7 and 8 each project into the passage 15 and together form a pressure bearing for the longitudinal section of the line. The web 4 has two raised regions 5 and 6 in the region of the end sections opposite the raised regions 7 and 8, which are opposite one of the projections 7 or 8, respectively, at a distance from one another. In this exemplary embodiment, the raised regions 5, 6, 7 and 8 enclose between one another a passage region 2 of the passage 15, in which passage region the conductor end sections to be contacted can be arranged.
The contact element 1 has a press-in pin 9, which is molded onto the conductor receptacle 3. The press-in pin 9 extends along a longitudinal axis 16. The connecting lug 4 is arranged opposite the press-in pin 9 at the annular section of the conductor receptacle 3 and extends along the longitudinal axis 16.
The contact element 1 is formed with a smaller thickness extension along the longitudinal axis 16 in the longitudinal section 11 than along the longitudinal axis 16 in the region adjacent thereto. In this exemplary embodiment, the longitudinal section 11 comprises a part of the connecting lug 4 and a part of the press-in pin 9, in particular in the region in which both the press-in pin 9 and the connecting lug 4 are molded to the conductor receptacle 3, in particular to the ring section of the conductor receptacle 3. The connecting web 4 can thus be bent out of the passage 15 in an oscillating manner, in particular due to the weakening formed in the sheet metal material in the region of the profiled conductor receptacle 3. Likewise, the press-in pin 9 formed on the end section 10 of the contact element 1 along the longitudinal axis 16 can be bent due to the weakening of the sheet metal material formed in the region of the molded conductor receptacle 3.
Fig. 2 shows schematically a contact element 1, which has already been shown in fig. 1, in a modified embodiment 1'. In the modified embodiment 1', the press-in pin 9 is bent at right angles in the region of the weakened longitudinal section 11 in this embodiment. In the region of the weakened longitudinal section 11, the connecting web 4 is pivoted out of the opening 15 by means of a pivoting movement 14, wherein for this purpose a pivot joint 13 is formed in the weakened longitudinal section 11 along the longitudinal axis. Fig. 2 shows the web 4' which is pivoted out of the passage 15 about the pivot axis 13 by means of a pivoting movement 14. The connecting lug 4' has a cutting 19 at the free end, which is designed to cut or grind away at least one oxide or lacquer layer of the conductor. After the lug 4 has been pivoted outward into the pivoted-out position 4', the wire end section 12 can be introduced into the passage 15, in particular into the region 2 of the passage 15, as indicated by the arrow. The wire end section 12 is intended to be contacted by the contact element 1', in particular by the outwardly pivoted web 4', which is also bent at an angle in fig. 2.
Fig. 3 shows schematically the contact element 1 ″ shown in fig. 2, the connecting lug 4 being pivoted again from the position 4' shown in fig. 2 along the pivoting movement 14 into the passage opening 15 into the position 4 ″. In this case, the end section 12 of the wire is contacted both in a cutting-in and in a pressing-on manner at the longitudinal section 18 of the wire.
The contact element 1 ″ shown in fig. 3 is reinforced along the longitudinal axis 16 at least in the region of the weakened longitudinal section 11 by means of a plastic part 17 injection-molded onto the contact element 1. Advantageously, both an increase in the bending stiffness of the contact element 1 and an electrical insulation of the contact element 1 at least in the region of the conductor receptacle 15 can be achieved by means of the plastic part 17.
Fig. 4 shows schematically a lug 20 as a variant of the lug 4 shown in fig. 1, which can be realized at the contact element 1 instead of the lug 4.
The connecting sheet 20 has a toggle 21, which is designed, as indicated by an arrow 23, to be pressed when the connecting sheet 20 is pressed into the passage 15 and to press the end of the connecting sheet 20, in particular the cut 22, against the conductor 12. In this case, the web 20 pivots about the pivot joint 13. After the connecting lug 20 has been pivoted in, in particular completely, into the passage 15, the wire 12 is then contacted in a cut-in and, in particular, pressed in.
