Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical connector socket equipped with a LamellenANDgitter, and a crimp connector.
  • the invention relates to a method for producing a connector socket with crimp connector, in particular a connector socket with a cylindrical connector socket sleeve.
  • the US 5,667,413 A describes a female cylindrical female connector comprising a housing which receives a substantially cylindrical contact sleeve.
  • a contact cage comprising a number of contact springs.
  • the WO00 / 70713 also describes a female contact, which is formed from a connector sleeve with a crimp terminal, in turn, a radially symmetrical contact sleeve is received, which in turn is itself incorporated in a tubular sleeve.
  • the lamella contact grid consists of an additional tubular sleeve.
  • a major problem is the natural problem of existing manufacturing tolerances, which are to be matched.
  • FIGS. 9 and 10 show, for example in FIGS. 9 and 10, the structure of a connector socket with a crimp connector fixedly connected thereto.
  • a disadvantage in particular has the effect that at high currents at least only a relatively small area, the transition region from the outer sleeve to the actual crimp connection can contribute to the current carrying capacity.
  • the DE 10 2005 057 893 already discloses an electrical contact element for electrically contacting an electrical conductor with a bolt, in particular a ground connection bolt.
  • this disclosure teaches a person skilled in the art to form a crimp contact element such that the contact region is provided with a central opening and formed from a folded metal strip folded such that the central openings of the lower and upper metal strips are superposed on each other.
  • a central opening for a ground connection bolt is formed with which the electrical contact element can engage.
  • To reinforce is located around the central opening a circular embossing, such that the elevations of these embossments after folding lie one above the other and touch each other. This serves to reinforce the electrical contact element.
  • a cylindrical contact element is permanently connected to the electrical connector.
  • the contact element has a pot-like press-in area with a corresponding opening for the cylindrical contact element to be fitted therein.
  • the cylindrical contact element either can not be inserted into the passage opening at all or just loosely inserted and a firm connection is not guaranteed.
  • the person skilled in the art selects a production method in which the most exact dimension possible for the inner diameter DH of the female connector sleeve is to be pressed into the female connector sleeve with its surrounding sleeve in the desired manner and with the desired force. This is partially controllable insofar as that the wall thickness of the connector sleeve and the outer diameter of the same are not subject to a comparatively narrow tolerance field, as is necessary for the inner diameter of the connector sleeve connector.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to overcome in particular the aforementioned disadvantages and such a connector socket or a female connector sleeve with a crimp connector simpler, cheaper to manufacture and in particular to sufficiently eliminate the problems of tolerances, so that a secure contact system can be produced.
  • the object of the present invention resides in the fact that a crimping connector with production-related tolerances has a suitable connection region which allows it to be permanently and firmly connected to a particularly cylindrical connector sleeve, even in the presence of system-related and production-related tolerances.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide such a connector socket, which has a sufficiently high current carrying capacity and thus over such an embodiment that the available for the current contact cross section from the transition of the lamella contact grid to the cable is not comparable to those in the prior art mentioned embodiments is weakened. This is achieved with a connector socket according to claim.
  • Another object of the present invention is therefore to provide a production method which overcomes said disadvantages and at the same time remains cost-effective to carry out. This object is achieved by a method according to claim 3.
  • the diameter of the passage will be referred to as Dc below.
  • Dc target is the nominal diameter of the draft.
  • Dc the actually produced diameter is described.
  • the outer diameter of the cylindrical connector bushing sleeve is referred to below as Dh, in which case Dh, Soll describes the desired nominal diameter, while Dh, Ist describes the actually produced outer diameter.
  • the diameter Dc, target to the diameter Dh, target is tuned in such a way that a defined slot S between Dh, Soll and Dc, target is formed when the crimp is slipped over the tubular connector socket sleeve and is mounted on this.
  • ⁇ X there is a mounting clearance ⁇ X, which mathematically results from the difference difference between the different diameters Dh, Soll and Dc, Soll.
  • the tolerance field ⁇ X results from the maximum actual diameter values Dh, Ist and Dc, Ist.
  • Dh, Ist and Dc, Ist there is a tolerance field between 0 and ⁇ X, where 0 represents the state in which Dc, Soll and Dh, Soll equal to Dc, Ist and Dh, Ist represents. It then turns out to be exactly the desired clearance between the outer diameter of the female connector sleeve and the passage of the Crimpverbinders to form an infinitesimal small gap S.
  • the crimp connector is made by folding a sheet on at least one fold edge so that the thickness of the Crimpverbinderflansches is sufficiently thick and compact, so that there is sufficient contact with the connector sleeve connector.
  • connection between the crimp connector and the connector sleeve is made by an embossing tool, while the area around the passage is mechanically deformed such that a U-shaped annular groove forms on the top and bottom of the passage flange and one of the U-legs extends outwards on the Outer jacket of the connector sleeve.
  • the embossing tool may be formed so that a notch or a groove is formed, which corresponds in its cross section to a U with equilateral legs.
  • one of the legs and that formed under the plastic deformation applied to the connector socket sleeve leg can be formed either with lesser height as the thickness of the fürzugsflansches or even with greater height, depending on how large to choose the contact surface of the fürzugflansches with the connector socket sleeve is.
  • the passage flange has been formed to form a single folding of a sheet.
  • the cable terminal side of the crimp connector may preferably be formed to form a substantially annular cable receiving space.
  • a half-open crimp connection area could also be formed on the crimp connector.
  • Fig. 1 to Fig. 4 the manufacturing method of the connector socket 1 according to the invention is shown in more detail.
  • a connector socket 1 is provided with an inserted into the connector socket 1 LamellenANDgitter 2 and a crimp connector 3.
  • the connector socket 1 is mounted on a embossing tool lower part 21, wherein the connector socket 1 is mounted with its LamellenANDgitter 2 on the attached to the embossing tool part 21 pin 22.
  • the pin 22 is fixedly connected to the embossing tool lower part 21 to form an annular gap 23.
  • the connector socket 1 is slipped so far over the pin 22 and along the lamella contact grid 2 along this moved until the bottom of the connector socket 1 rests on the underside of the embossing tool base 21.
  • the connector socket 1 can be moved in any suitable position along the pin 22, as it holds the connector socket 1 with the lamella contact grid 2 by clamping. This is accomplished by the fact that the contact blades of the lamella contact grid 2 resiliently abut against the pin 22.
  • an inner stop in the annular gap 23 may be arranged on the embossing tool lower part 21 in order to determine the exact position of the connector socket 1.
  • the crimp connector 3 is now formed by folding a plastically deformable metal or compressing a pipe section, in which the sheet is folded or pressed against each other at least once so that a fürzugflansch Structure 8 is formed, in which a hole-shaped passage 6 is punched.
  • the hole-shaped passage 6 is given a diameter Dc which is slightly larger than the outside diameter Dh of the connector socket 1.
  • the crimp connector 3 is formed with a crimp connection 9, preferably a cable receiving space 10, in which the sheet is punched by deformation, bent and formed into the desired shape.
  • the pull-through flange 6 can also be formed to form two tube outer halves pressed against one another, wherein a piece of pipe of length L is partially pressed together at an end region such that a pull-through flange 8 and a crimping connection 9 result.
  • the crimp connector 3 is now pushed with its passage 6 over the outer diameter of the connector socket 1 and by means of a stamping tool upper part 20, and this in Fig. 3 is shown plastically deformed.
  • the embossing tool upper part 20 and the embossing tool lower part 21 each have a ring portion 24, 25 which protrudes from the tool.
  • the intervening passage flange 8 of the crimp connector 3 is plastically and mechanically deformed such that one groove 11 is formed at the top and bottom, each with a leg 12, which the crimp connector 3 with its passage flange. 8 firmly attached to the connector socket sleeve 4.
  • the connector socket 1 produced by this method now has a fixed connection to the crimp connector 3 independently of the outside diameter Dh of the connector sleeve 4.
  • Fig. 6 shows that the position of the pull-through flange 8 with respect to the connector sleeve sleeve 4 can be arranged at any point.
  • Fig. 7 shows a leg 12 adjacent to the outer jacket of the connector sleeve 4 under clamping receiving this sleeve.
