Definitions

  • the invention relates to a battery terminal, which comprises a Poluttonelement for enclosing a pole of a battery and two associated with this Poluttonelement clamping leg. Further, the battery terminal has a screw for changing the distance between the two clamping legs and a terminal contact element for establishing an electrical contact between the battery terminal and a connecting line.
  • the battery terminal is used in particular for establishing an electrical contact between a pole of a starter battery of a vehicle and a connecting line.
  • the Polbitelement contacted the pole, which encloses it, such that it is electrically conductively connected thereto.
  • Battery terminals are known in which the terminal contact element is arranged on the Poluttonelement, so that the distance between the connecting line and the contact of the battery terminal to the pole is minimized.
  • the exact arrangement of the terminal contact element and its geometric configuration are particularly adapted to the structural conditions of the accumulator and / or the structural conditions of the accumulator in the installation position in the vehicle surrounding components and should cause a secure connection between the terminal contact element and the connecting line.
  • the terminal contact element is in particular plate-shaped. On the flat surfaces of such a plate-shaped element crimp contacts can be attached in a simple manner, to which in turn the connection line is ancrimpbar. In particular, depending on which accumulator or in which vehicle the battery terminal is to be used, matched thereto crimp contacts are attached to the terminal contact element, so that the battery terminal is universally applicable and for use in various batteries or in various vehicles no structural changes the battery terminal itself are necessary.
  • connection contact element makes it possible for the conductors of the connection line to be attached directly to it.
  • the conductors may be individually attached to the terminal contact element or previously compacted into a single conductor.
  • the fastening of the conductors or the crimp contact takes place in particular by brazing and / or resistance welding, so that a secure, permanent connection is achieved.
  • connection line is attached to both sides of this plate.
  • a connection line for example, be attached to each side of a crimp contact.
  • a crimp contact can also be provided on one side and the other connection line can be directly welded or soldered on the other side. It is also possible that on both sides is dispensed with crimp contacts and the respective connecting cable is welded directly to the terminal contact element.
  • crimp contacts can be used, which have a plurality of contact areas for contacting a plurality of connecting lines.
  • the second clamping leg facing surface of the first clamping leg and the surface of the connecting element, to which the connecting line is attachable are preferably tilted relative to each other.
  • the relative tilting of the surfaces relative to one another is understood to mean that those two planes, which are each defined by one of the surfaces, intersect and thus are not arranged parallel to one another. Due to the tilted arrangement of the terminal contact element is achieved that this simply the connection line or the crimp contact for attaching the connection cable can be attached without this hinder the attachment of the first and / or the second clamping leg.
  • the pole contact element, the two clamping legs and the terminal contact element are integrally formed, so that no joints are present and thus the strength and rigidity of the battery terminal is increased. Furthermore, this achieves a simple, cost-effective production.
  • the first clamping leg and / or the second clamping leg has at one end facing away from the pole contact element directed towards the other clamping leg support member through which the clamping legs, at least when the battery terminal is attached to the pole, support each other.
  • the support element is arranged in particular on the second clamping leg, so that the support element arranged on the first clamping leg Terminal contact element not impaired.
  • the battery terminal may also be formed such that, as described above, a support element for supporting the clamping legs, but the terminal contact element not on the first clamping leg, but on another part of the battery terminal, in particular on the Polternelement , is arranged.
  • the support element is formed in particular by a curved in the direction of the other clamping leg clamping leg portion.
  • a minimum distance between the two clamping legs is preferably set so that by turning the screw, the distance between the clamping legs can be adjusted in a range whose lower limit is determined by this minimum distance.
  • This minimum distance is in particular set such that at this minimum distance the clamping connection formed between the Poluttonelement and the pole is solid and durable and under normal operating conditions, an unwanted detachment of the battery terminal is excluded from the pole.
  • At least one, preferably several, beads are formed in the transition region between the first clamping leg and the pole contact element and / or in the transition region between the second clamping leg and the pole contact element.
  • These beads increase the rigidity of the battery terminal, in particular in the transition area, so that twisting and / or bending of the battery terminal is avoided or impeded, and thus the firm connection between the battery terminal and the pole is ensured. Furthermore, this ensures that the clamping force generated by the screw is transmitted evenly from the clamping legs on the Poluttonelement so that it securely surrounds the pole and thus clamps this reliable.
  • At least one embossment, at least one recess and / or at least one elevation are arranged on that surface of the Poluttoniatas, which contacts the pole, by which a tight fit of the Polutton emulates is ensured at the pole.
  • the embossing, recess and / or elevation are in particular designed such that through them the frictional and / or adhesive force between the pole contact element and the pole is increased, so that a release of the clamping connection is difficult.
  • the screw includes in addition to the screw in particular a nut into which the screw engages, so that a secure screw is guaranteed and unintentional changing the distance between the clamping legs is excluded.
  • the screw connection may not include a nut.
  • an internal thread cut which is complementary to the external thread of the screw, so that even without a locknut, the distance of the clamping legs to each other can be changed.
  • pole contact element and the clamping legs are tilted to each other. This ensures that the introduced via the screw clamping force is transmitted evenly and without deformation of the battery terminal in the transition areas.
  • the pole contact element is formed approximately cylindrical or conical, so that it optimally encloses the pole.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a battery terminal 10 according to a first embodiment of the invention shown.
  • the battery terminal 10 includes a pole contact member 12 which, when the battery terminal 10 is mounted in a starter battery of a vehicle, a in FIG. 1 not shown pole of this starter battery encloses and is electrically connected to this.
  • the battery terminal 10 has two at transition regions 14, 16 connected to the Poluttonelement 12 clamping legs 18, 20, said clamping legs 18, 20 each having a bore through which a screw 22 is guided.
  • the screw 22 is formed by a screw 24, a nut 26 and a washer 28. About the screw 22, the distance of the clamping legs 18, 20 are changed to each other.
  • the distance between the clamping legs 18, 20 is formed such that the pole contact element 12 can be placed on the pole. Subsequently, the screw and / or the nut 24 is rotated so that the nut 26 is moved closer to the head of the screw 24 on the shaft of the screw 24, so that the distance between the clamping legs 18, 20 is reduced. Thus, it is achieved that a clamping connection between the pole and the Polumbleelement 12 is formed, which prevents loosening of the PolCountiatas 12 of the pole and thus releasing the electrical connection between the battery terminal 10 and the pole.
  • the clamping force which is necessary to form this clamping connection, is here introduced via the screw 22 and transmitted via the transition regions 14, 16 of the clamping legs 18, 20 to the Polternelement 12.
  • the clamping legs 18, 20 and / or the pole contact element 12 have in the transition regions 14, 16 at least one, preferably a plurality of beads 30, 32, through which the rigidity of the battery terminal 10 is increased in transition areas 14,16, so that via the screw 22 introduced clamping force can be reliably transmitted to the pole contact element 12. In particular, a uniform force transmission is thus achieved, so that a firm connection between the pole and the pole contact element 12 is ensured.
  • embossments or recesses 34 By means of these embossments or recesses 34, the mechanical contact between the pole contact element 12 and the pole is improved, so that slippage of the battery terminal 10 from the pole is made more difficult.
  • the second clamping leg 20 is bent in that end region which faces away from the pole contact element 12 in the direction of the first clamping leg 18, so that a support element 38 is formed by this bend over which the two clamping legs 18, 20 at least when the battery terminal 10 is attached to the pole, support each other.
  • a firm connection between the battery terminal 10 and the pole is achieved.
  • a tilting of the two clamping legs 18, 20 avoided each other, so that the distance between the clamping legs 18, 20 can not be changed unintentionally to each other and thus the secure clamping connection is maintained.
  • the two legs 18, 20 are arranged tilted relative to the pole contact element 12, whereby an improved transmission of the clamping force of the transition regions 14, 16 is achieved.
  • the battery terminal 10 comprises a terminal contact element 40, on which in the in FIG. 1 shown embodiment, a connecting line 42 is attached. Via the battery terminal 10 thus an electrically conductive connection between the connecting line 42 and the pole of the starter battery is achieved.
  • the terminal contact element 40 is arranged on the pole contact element 12 opposite end of the first clamping leg 18 and tilted relative thereto.
  • the terminal contact element 40 is plate-shaped and has a first contact surface 44 and a second contact surface 46, wherein the two contact surfaces 44, 46 are arranged opposite to each other.
  • a plate-shaped terminal contact element 40 ensures that the connection between the terminal contact element 40 and the connecting line 42 necessary for the use of the battery terminal 10 can be formed in a simple manner.
  • the connection line 42 is fixed to the contact surface 46 of the connection contact element 40, for example, by resistance welding. Alternatively, the connection line 42 may also be soldered.
  • connection line 42 may also be fastened to the first contact surface 44 of the connection contact element 40. Furthermore, it is alternatively possible for a connection line 42 to be attached to both contact surfaces 44, 46 as well.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a battery terminal 50 according to a second embodiment of the invention shown. Elements with the same structure or the same function have the same reference numerals.
  • a crimp contact 52 is welded or soldered to the terminal contact element 40, via which in turn an electrical contact to the connecting line 42 can be made.
  • a conductor or a plurality of conductors of the connection line 42 between the fingers 54 of the crimp contact 52 is arranged before the fingers 54 are moved towards each other, so that a crimped connection between the crimp contact 52 and the connecting line 42 is formed.
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic representation of the battery terminal 50 after FIG. 2 and lead 42.
  • the connecting line 42 comprises a plurality of conductors 56, which are compacted in an end region 58 into a single conductor 60. This compacted conductor 60 can be easily crimped with the crimp contact 52.
  • the crimp contact 52 may be disposed on the first contact surface 44. Furthermore, alternatively, a crimp contact 52 can also be provided on both contact surfaces 44, 46 of the terminal contact element 40. In this way, two connecting lines 42 can be attached.
  • the matching crimp contact 52 can be attached to the battery terminal 10, 50, so that the battery terminal 10, 50 is universally applicable and together with the crimp contacts 52 forms a modular kit.
  • a cost-effective mass production is possible, which nevertheless allows a simple, cost-effective way to adapt to the customer-specific circumstances.
