Definitions

  • the invention relates to an arrangement for contacting a conical contact, in particular an end pole of a battery for motor vehicles, which is made from a metal sheet by stamping and molding, with two rings, each of which has an opening on one side and two curved tabs on the left and are connected to the right of the openings, with means for reducing the width of the openings which engage the tabs, and with at least one further contact area.
  • a battery terminal of the type mentioned above is known from the generic US Pat. No. 5,454,741 (see FIG. 4).
  • a screw with a bolt is provided as a means of reducing the width of the openings which engage the tabs. This screw cannot be tightened from the top but only from the side. It has been found that such an arrangement is unsuitable for robot assembly.
  • due to the conical shape of the battery pole it is not ensured in the known arrangement that good contacting is achieved.
  • the arrangement has two rings, which have different inner diameters in the relaxed state. This ensures a particularly good adaptation of the rings to the shape of a conical contact. However, it is important to ensure that the two rings are also arranged coaxially one above the other.
  • the rings each have strips on their outside at opposite positions, the free ends of which have a complementary shape to the free end of the respectively opposite strip.
  • the complementary shape ensures that when the arrangement of a stamped sheet metal part is folded together, the ends of the bent strips engage in one another and the rings are pulled into the correct position during further bending. In the fully formed state, the shaped free ends of the opposing strips lie in one another with their complementary shape.
  • the contacting area which is provided on the arrangement for contacting can be provided, for example, as a crimping area for crimping on a line.
  • a current bar it is also possible for a current bar to be attached to the contact area.
  • the busbar then serves to distribute the current to various supply lines. Since it is advantageous in an accident if the battery is disconnected from the supply lines, it makes sense to provide means for the controlled automatic interruption of the current flow between the contacting area and the area where the current is distributed to the different supply lines.
  • FIG. 1 An arrangement according to the invention is shown in FIG.
  • the two rings 1 and 2 can be seen, each having different diameters and a flat region 101 and 201, and a bent region 102 and 202, which comes into direct contact with a conical contact.
  • the two rings 1, 2 each have an opening, of which only the opening 3 in the upper ring 1 can be seen.
  • the two rings 1, 2 are connected to one another by two brackets 5, 6.
  • the tabs 5, 6 are each located to the side of the openings 3, 4.
  • the tabs 5, 6 are bent through 180 ° so that the two rings come to lie one above the other.
  • the arrangement has a further contact area 7, which is designed as a crimp area.
  • 5 metal arms 14 and 15 are arranged on the tab, each extending perpendicular to the tabs 5 and 6.
  • the metal arms 14, 15 are also bent through 180 °, such that the arm 14 located near the first ring 1 extends above the tabs 5, 6 and the arm 15 located near the second lower ring 2 below the tabs 5, 6.
  • the two metal arms 14, 15 each have a bore at their free ends, through which an eccentric 18 is attached to the free ends of the two metal arms 14 and 15.
  • the eccentric 18 can be rotated by engaging and rotating the hexagon screw 23 by means of a hexagon wrench. By turning the eccentric 18, the two tabs 5 and 6 move towards one another, as a result of which the inside diameter of the rings 1, 2 and also the clear width of the opening 3, 4 are reduced.
  • the arrangement can be securely attached to the conical contact by means of this eccentric.
  • the eccentric also has the advantage that the contact pressure can be determined by measuring the torque.
  • the arrangement according to the invention has the advantages that a constant contact resistance is specified and the tolerances of the cone to be contacted do not influence the contact force.
  • FIG. 2 shows the layout of the arrangement shown in FIG. 1.
  • the two parts of the crimping area 7, the two rings 1 and 2 with the openings 3 and 4, the two tabs 5 and 6 are clearly visible, the two metal arms 14 and 15 being fastened to the tab 5.
  • the two metal arms 14, 15 have the bores 16 and 17 at their free ends. These are holes with an additional slot. The slot is used to allow the hole to spring open slightly. The eccentric is inserted in these bores and is held in it by means of friction and spring force.
  • Two embossed areas 24 can also be seen in the layout. These serve to influence the stiffness of the two arms.
  • the layout also shows strips 8 to 13, which are each arranged on the outer circumference of the rings and have a complementary shape to the strip at their free ends have, which is arranged on the other ring at the opposite point. How the two complementary forms interlock is shown in FIG. 1.
  • the special design of these strips is necessary to ensure that the two rings with the different diameters come to lie exactly one above the other coaxially. This is ensured by the complementary shape on one side in the form of a tip and on the other side in the form of a recess receiving the tip.
  • the eccentric is shown in more detail in FIGS. 3 and 4. It consists of the eccentric part 181 and the two hexagon screw heads 182 and 183. The ends of the metal arms come to rest between the hexagon screw heads and the eccentric part.
  • FIGS. 5 shows an end pole 51 of a battery for motor vehicles, which is contacted with an arrangement according to the invention with two rings 1 and 2, which are shown in section.
  • the two rings are connected to a busbar 20 via a screw 19.
  • a sealing ring 52 and a connection 53 can also be seen that protrudes from the housing 50.
  • the connection 53 is suitable for establishing a connection to the means for automatically interrupting the current flow.
  • Figure 6 clearly shows this connection 53 and the means 22 for interrupting the current flow. You can also see the end pole of the Battery and the upper ring 1 and the cone 18 which is arranged between the metal arms 14 and 15 to move the two tabs 5 and 6 towards each other.
  • the contacting area 7 is connected to the busbar 20 by a screw 19, which leads through the means for interrupting up to the area 60 at which the current is distributed over different supply lines.
  • FIG. 7 shows a section along the line BB, as shown in FIG. 6. It can be seen that the eccentric 18 is accessible from outside the housing 50.
