Definitions

  • crimp contacts can be seen for example from DE 10 2013 203 796 A1.
  • crimp contacts are from the WO
  • connection terminals are also evident, for example, from DE 36 34 099 C2, JP 2003 249 284 A or WO 2009/096590 A1.
  • DE 10 2013 203 796 A1 discloses an electrical crimp contact device with arrow-shaped grooves, which serve as a fixing device for the cable ends to be contacted. Disclosure of the invention
  • the contact sleeve according to the invention for the connection of at least one stranded wire with arrow-like to the center line extending on both Crimerieln grooves curved with continuous decreasing slope each extending from the center line to the outside, has the advantage of a particularly strong and gas-tight contacting of stranded conductors.
  • the grooves begin at the centerline and extend over the crimping blades to a predetermined distance from the end of the crimping blades or even to the end of the crimping blades themselves.
  • the grooves run to a certain extent in the manner of bird wings swinging.
  • the slope of a tangent to the grooves at the midline at an angle of about 83 ⁇ 2 ° to the center line and this slope of the tangent decreases towards the edge of the grooves until they have an end angle of about 88 ⁇ 1 ° including the midline.
  • the Crimperiel only cover a small distance during crimping, so that there is a greater slope of the grooves than at the outer edge of the Crimpulatel, which cover a greater distance during the crimping process.
  • the grooves could be designed asymmetrically to the center line, that is, the grooves on one side may be different than the grooves on the other side.
  • a particularly preferred embodiment provides that the grooves are symmetrical to the center line.
  • the formation of the grooves can be done in a variety of ways.
  • An advantageous embodiment provides that the grooves are groove-like depressions, which are arranged on the sides of the receiving area facing the stranding line and the Crimpulatel.
  • Fig. 1 shows a contact sleeve with Crimulateln according to the prior art.
  • a contact sleeve shown in Fig. 1 has a Maiscrimp Colour 10, which serves a compression of strands 10b with Crimperielnl Oa, and an Isolationscrimp Colour 1 1 for attaching the Mixcrimp Studentss 10 to an insulation of a stranded conductor 12.
  • the Kunststoffcrimp Colour 10 has a receiving surface 12a. It serves together with the Crimerieln 10a in a known manner the compression of the strands 10b.
  • the insulating crimping area 11 surrounding an insulation of the stranded conductor 12 is arranged on the crimping contact area 10.
  • the insulation crimping area 1 1 surrounds and clamps the stranded wire 12 and thus serves to secure the stranded wire 12 and its strain relief.
  • a plan view, shown in FIG. 2, of a contact crimping region 15, which has two crimp wings 15a, 15b, comprises grooves 13 arranged symmetrically with respect to a center line 14, which are curved in the form of a curve run by birdwing.
  • the curvature is designed so that a tangent to the grooves in the region of the center line 14 encloses an angle as with the center line 14.
  • the slope steadily decreases towards the outer edge of the crimp wings 15a, 15b, so that the pitch of the grooves in the outer region encloses an angle AE to the center line 14.
  • the angle ⁇ s is preferably about 83 ⁇ 2 °, whereas the angle ⁇ E is about 88 ⁇ 1 °.
  • the curved shape of the grooves With a curvature which continuously decreases from the center line 14 in the direction of the edge of the crimp wings 15a, 15b, optimum crimping of strands in the crimp wings 15a, 15b is achieved.
  • the curved arrangement of the grooves takes into account the fact that during crimping in the region of the center line 14, the crimping blades 15a, 15b travel only a small distance, whereas they cover a large distance in the outer region of the crimping blades 15a, 15b.
  • This smaller path in the area of the center line 14 is taken into account by the greater pitch of the grooves, whereas the larger distance traveled during the crimping in the outer area of the Crimperiel 15a, 15b is taken into account by the smaller pitch.
  • the crimping with the aid of these curved grooves enables an optimal contacting of the strands, in particular a gas-tight contacting of the strands, which can not be achieved with linearly extending grooves.
  • the curved grooves are preferably formed symmetrically to the center line 14. However, it can also be provided in an alternative embodiment, the grooves asymmetric form, so on a Crimputel provide grooves with a different pitch than on the other Crimperiel.
  • the grooves are, for example, embossed conditions, beads and the like, which project in the direction of the strands and thus press the strands.
  • the grooves preferably begin at the centerline 14 and extend over the crimping blades 15a, 15b to a predetermined distance from the end of the crimping blades or even to the end of the crimping blades themselves.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une douille de connexion destinée à la connexion d'au moins un conducteur toronné, comprenant une zone de réception s'étendant le long d'une ligne médiane (14) parallèle au conducteur toronné en vue de l'introduction d'extrémités dénudées dudit au moins un conducteur toronné, et deux ailes de sertissage (15a, 15b), lesquelles sont orientées l'une vers l'autre et dans un état replié de manière à serrer les extrémités dénudées, lesdites ailes de sertissage (15a, 15b) présentant des rainures (13) qui s'étendent en flèche par rapport à la ligne médiane sur les deux ailes de sertissage (15a, 15b). L'invention se caractérise en ce que les rainures (13) s'étendent chacune depuis la ligne médiane (14) vers l'extérieur selon une trajectoire incurvée avec une inclinaison continûment décroissante.
