Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical switch, in particular an electrical micro-switch, comprising at least one electrical contact, wherein the contact is formed as a hollow-shaped portion of a component made of electrically conductive material.
  • Electrical switches are used in electrical circuits for switching on and off of electrical consumers. Frequently, such circuits are miniaturized, also to be able to integrate them into complex technical facilities. Especially in vehicle miniaturized switches are used, which control the various functions in a vehicle. Such microswitches can be found e.g. in door locks, hoods, tailgates and in the vehicle interior.
  • Electrical switches in particular micro-switches, have at least one electrical contact, which is directly involved in the conduction of the electric current.
  • the contact consists of an electrically conductive material, it can be applied to a mating contact or other electrically conductive portions to allow a flow of current.
  • contacts are used, which are made of solid material.
  • the solid material is attached to the contact carrier. Welding of wire sections as contact or riveting of contacts into the carrier material is customary. As solid material find silver (alloys) or coating materials with silver and Copper shares use. Together, these materials have a low hardness.
  • the contacts made of solid material have an increased mass, which causes problems due to the high dynamics of the switching process.
  • a problem of a high mass is, for example, that in a contact with a mating contact, vibrations may occur which cause a temporary lifting of the contact from the mating contact. This in particular when the contact is brought in an accelerated manner to the mating contact. In such a striking of the contact can lead to pulse phenomena, which cause a multiple lifting of the contact, whereby the actually desired current flow is interrupted.
  • a generic switch is from the FR 2 504 311 known.
  • the contact is not made of a solid material. Rather, a design is available as a hollow-shaped section, whereby an outer design as in contact with a full material is possible, but on the opposite side a significant reduction in the mass of the contact is achieved.
  • the contact of the switch known from this publication has two hollow mold sections, which are angular sections of a hollow cylinder. They are arranged stiffly in contact, since they are stiffened with a rear wall. The reduction of the mass of the contact can thus only lead to an insufficient damping of the vibration behavior.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an electrical switch of the type mentioned, in which the occurrence of vibrations when approaching a mating contact is effectively reduced.
  • the contact has a hollow cylindrical shape and the mold is formed from a flat material by forming the same, wherein the contact by a Rolling up of the arranged in the end region of the component material of the component is formed and located in surface areas of the contact surfaces.
  • the contact has a hollow cylindrical shape. Due to the hollow cylindrical shape, a contact surface is formed with the jacket of the cylinder, which can rest against differently formed mating contacts.
  • the mating contact may preferably also have a cylindrical shape, both longitudinal axes of the cylinder can thereby extend at an angle of approximately 90 ° to each other. Counter contact and contact then form an optimal point-shaped (in consideration of the flattening circular) contact point, which retains its optimal shape even with angular errors of the contacts involved.
  • the hollow mold is formed of a planar material by forming the same.
  • the planar material may be an electrically conductive material that has been formed, for example, by a stamping process.
  • the switch according to the invention no contact to be supplied from the outside with full material is to be attached to this planar material, but the contact formed as a hollow cylindrical shape is formed by rolling up the material itself. As a result, the production of the electrical switch according to the invention is simplified.
  • the contact is formed by a rolling up of the arranged in the end region of the component material of the component.
  • Surface areas of the contact have contact surfaces. With these contact surfaces of the contact can be applied to a mating contact. There are several contact surfaces available with which an investment in mutually different mating contacts is possible.
  • the fixed contacts can also be formed by forming without additional solid material.
  • a working step jointing of the solid material to the carrier
  • Soft material is not applied, the harder base material better withstands the mechanical stresses in the shift shock. There is no or minimal plastic deformation.
  • Tougher surfaces better withstand the resulting fretting wear. If, as proposed, the contact surfaces are formed by forming (for example rolling, embossing), this results in a further increase in hardness as a result of the shaping process.
  • contacts which conduct low currents are provided with a noble metal layer, preferably gold (alloys).
  • a noble metal layer preferably gold (alloys).
  • a larger area is typically refined than required for the switching function and e.g. provided with a noble metal layer.
  • a noble metal layer is selectively applied only in the areas involved in the function, whereby precious metal is saved.
  • the contact surfaces have a greater hardness than in the solid material. The higher hardness enables a reduction of the layer thickness.
  • the noble metal layer can be omitted on one side or reduced to a very minimum as pure transport protection, since the functionally necessary noble metal layer results from material transfer from the mating contact.
  • the contact surfaces thus formed are better suited for the electrical and mechanical stresses than contact surfaces made of solid material.
  • a stamped component 1 made of an electrically conductive material.
  • an electrical contact 2 is formed in a portion of this stamped component 1. This contact 2 is integrally connected to the other areas of the stamped component 1.
  • Fig. 2 shows that the contact 2 has a hollow cylindrical shape.
  • the contact 2 is formed by rolling up the material of the stamped component 1 arranged in the end region of the stamped component 1.
  • the angles ⁇ and ⁇ ' indicate the surface areas of the contact 2 in which contact surfaces 3 of the contact 2 are located. With these areas, the contact 2 can be applied to a mating contact, not shown.
  • the stamped component 1 consists for example of brass, which has a thickness of about 0.5 mm. In the area of the contact surface 3, a noble metal layer is introduced into the brass.
