Description

The present invention relates to a contacting device for electrically contacting a printed circuit board with at least one electrical line and a corresponding method.

State of the art

Control devices have a printed circuit board on which components are placed. In motor control devices, a male connector is conventionally mounted on the printed circuit board in order to establish contact between the wiring harness (wiring harness) and the printed circuit board. The male connector thus represents an additional component in the assembly of the control unit.

Electrical contacting devices in general are for example in the documents US 5,324,210 . GB 1 227 567 . US 2003/0190825 A1 and US 6,287,126 described.

Tolerances are an essential consideration in the design, manufacture and assembly of components. Since the tolerances of each component can add up when assembling several parts and form an unfavorable tolerance chain, it is important to keep tolerances as small as possible. However, the smaller the tolerances are chosen, the more complex - and thus more expensive - is the production of the corresponding component. The tolerances of the printed circuit board in particular pose a challenge for the design and the entire component.

Disclosure of the invention

The present invention is a contacting device for electrically contacting a printed circuit board with at least one electrical line, which comprises a first component, a second component and a fixable component guide. The first component has at least one contact region on a side facing the second component. Furthermore, the first component has at least one line guide.

In this case, the second component can be fixable via the component guide from at least one first position on the first component to be movable into at least one second position and at least in the second position. In the first position, an electrical line can be inserted via the line guide into the contact region of the first component and at least one electrical contact surface of a printed circuit board can be inserted between the first and second component and can be positioned over the contact region of the first component. In the second position, the electrical contact surface of the printed circuit board may be directly or indirectly electrically contactable with the electrical line.

The invention is based, in particular, on the principle that first in the first position an electrical line is introduced into the contact region, an electrical contact surface of a printed circuit board is inserted between the first and second component and the contact surface of the printed circuit board can be positioned over the contact region. In particular, a part of a printed circuit board which has at least one electrical contact surface on one side or on two opposite sides can be inserted between the first and second component. By transferring the contacting device into the second position, the electrical contact surface of the printed circuit board can then be contacted with the electrical line directly or indirectly electrically. In this case, the contacting device can be transferred by applying an external contact pressure on the first and second component, for example by mechanical or manual compression or compression of the first and second component, in the second position. Since the component guide can fix the second component in the second position, in the second position, even after the action of the external contact force, a contact pressure force can be applied to the electrical contact surface of the printed circuit board and the electrical line.

By means of the contacting device according to the invention, advantageously both a direct and an indirect contact between the electrical leads of a cable harness and a printed circuit board can be produced. Furthermore, the contacting devices can advantageously compensate for tolerances, in particular the thickness of a printed circuit board, and thereby reduce the rejects. In addition, the contacting device according to the invention can be produced in a simple and cost-effective manner.

The electrical line may be, for example, an electrical cable. In particular, the electrical line may be a cable with an uninsulated end region and / or a wire end ferrule. For example, the cable may be a cable of a cable harness. Advantageously, the contacting device can be designed for electrically contacting a plurality of electrical contact surfaces of a printed circuit board with a plurality of electrical lines, in particular cables of a cable harness. For example, the contacting device may be a contacting device for a control device.

The electrical contact surface of the circuit board may be a so-called "land" or "pad".

The end region of the electrical line, the electrical contact surface of the printed circuit board, the wire end ferrule and / or the electrical contact element explained later may be formed, for example, of gold or coated with gold. A gold surface has proved to be advantageous for contacting.

As part of an embodiment of the contacting device in the second position, a contact pressure on the electrical contact surface of the circuit board and the contact area, in particular the electrical line or an electrical contact element explained later, can be applied. By means of this pressing force, advantageously the printed circuit board or the printed circuit board and an electrical line introduced into the contact region can be fixed in the second position.

Within the scope of an embodiment of the contacting device, the printed circuit board and / or the electrical line can therefore be fixed by the contact pressure force in the second position.

The second component can furthermore be fixable in the first position. In this way, the insertion, insertion and positioning can be advantageously facilitated. The second component can in particular be movable in a plurality of positions and fixable in a plurality of positions. Furthermore, the second component can be moved away from the first component by the component guide.

Within the scope of an embodiment of the contacting device, the second component can be moved away from the at least one second position into the at least one first position by the component guide. For example, the second component can be moved away from the second position from the first component to the first position by the component guide.

In the at least one first position, the second component may be spaced from the first component and optionally a printed circuit board arranged between the first and second component.

In the at least one second position, the second component can touch a printed circuit board arranged between the first and second component. In particular, by the first and second component or the component guide in the second position, a contact pressure force applied to the electrical contact surface of the circuit board and the electrical line and thereby the circuit board and / or the electrical line between the first and second component are fixed.

In the context of a further embodiment of the contacting device, the second component has at least one contact region on a side facing the first component, the second component having at least one cable guide. In this case, in the first position, an electrical line can be inserted via the line guide into the contact region of the second component and at least one electrical contact surface of a printed circuit board can be inserted between the first and second component and can be positioned above the contact region of the second component. In this case, in the second position, the electrical contact surface of the printed circuit board with the electrical line is directly or indirectly electrically contacted. In this way, a printed circuit board, which in each case has at least one electrical contact surface on two opposite sides, can be advantageously contacted. In this case, at least one electrical contact surface on the one side of the printed circuit board can be contacted by the first component and at least one electrical contact surface on the other side of the printed circuit board by the second component.

The contact region of the first component can in particular in an inner region of the second component side facing; and / or the contact region of the second component, in particular in an inner region of the side facing the first component, be arranged.

In principle, the contact region of the first and / or second component can be both an electrical contact element and a region into which an electrical line can be inserted in the first position.

In the context of a further embodiment of the contacting device, the contact region of the first and / or second component is an electrical contact element. In this case, in the second position, the electrical contact surface of the printed circuit board with the electrical line can be electrically contacted indirectly via the electrical contact element.

In this case, in the first position, an electrical line via the wiring in the electrical contact element, for example, a metallic electrical contact, for example, gold, introduced and thereby contacted with the electrical contact element directly electrically, wherein in the second position, the electrical contact surface the printed circuit board, the contact element directly and thus indirectly electrically contacted the electrical line. In order to realize a fixation of the electrical line in addition to the electrical contacting of the electrical line, the contact element and / or the wiring can comprise a Leitungsfixiersystem.

In the context of a further embodiment of the contacting device is the contact area of the first component may be an area on the side facing the second component, into which an electrical line can be inserted in the first position, and / or the contact area of the second component is an area on the side facing the first component, into which one electrical line is insertable in the first position. In this case, in the second position, the electrical contact surface of the printed circuit board with the electrical line can advantageously be directly electrically contacted.

In this preferred case, in the first position, an electrical line can be introduced via the line guide into the contact region, wherein in the second position, the electrical contact surface of the printed circuit board electrically contacts the electrical line directly. In this case, the contacting device can therefore be a direct contacting device for direct, electrical contacting of a printed circuit board with at least one electrical line. By this type of embodiment, the electrical line can also be advantageously fixed in the second position by a force applied to the circuit board and the electrical line contact pressure. This has the advantage that the electrical line can be fixed without an additional fixing system.

The routing of the first and / or second component can be configured, for example, in the form of an open channel, for example an open channel formed in the side facing the respective other component. However, the routing of the first and / or second component can also be configured in the form of an opening, in particular a bore, through the component. For example, the routing of the first and / or second component in the form of a breakthrough, in particular a bore, be configured by the, the other component side facing the component

In the context of a further embodiment, the contact region of the first component is an area on the side facing the second component, into which an electrical line can be inserted in the first position and which is arranged adjacent to a cable guide, which in the form of a breakthrough, in particular a bore, through which, the second component facing side of the first component is configured, and / or the contact region of the second component is an area on the side facing the first component side, in which an electrical line in the first position is insertable and which is arranged adjacent to a cable guide, which in the form of an opening, in particular a bore, through which, the first component side facing the second component is configured. In this case, in the second position, the electrical contact surface of the printed circuit board with the electrical line can be contacted directly electrically. In this way, advantageously, the assembly and fixation of the electrical line can be simplified and improved.

The first and / or second component may be in the form of a plate having two opposing major major surfaces and one or more, for example one or four, smaller lateral surfaces. In particular, one of the two main surfaces of the first component may be facing or arranged above one of the two main surfaces of the second component. The configured in the form of an opening wiring of the first component may extend, for example, from a side surface of the first component through the first component to the, the second component facing the main surface of the first component. Analogously, the line guide of the second component designed in the form of an opening may extend from a side surface of the second component through the second component to the main surface of the second component facing the first component.

In order to be able to ensure a multiple assembly and disassembly, it has proven to be advantageous to design the fixation of the second component by the component guide releasably. Preferably, therefore, the component guide is a releasably fixable component guide. In this case, the second component in the at least one first and second position, in particular in a plurality of positions, be detachably fixable. Preferably, the components are guided laterally by the component guide.

For fixing the second component, the component guide and the second component can form at least one, in particular releasable, latching system. The latching system preferably has a plurality of latching positions. Thus, the second component in a variety of positions, in particular releasably fixed. Preferably, the component guide and the second component form at least two, in particular releasable, latching systems, which are arranged on opposite sides of the components.

In the context of a further embodiment of the contacting device, the component guide has at least one ratchet and the second component at least latching element, for example a tongue, which engages in the screening, in particular releasably engages. Preferably, the latching element has a locking lever for releasing and restoring the intervention in the grid. In this way, a contact between the circuit board and the electrical line can be made quickly and easily and a multiple assembly and disassembly can be ensured. The Screening may for example be in the form of at least one structured elongate element, for example a band or a rod, whose surface structure has wave or zigzag elevations and depressions, wherein the elevations and depressions are aligned substantially transversely to the longitudinal axis of the element. For example, the grid may be in the form of at least one structured elongated element whose surface texture is similar to the surface structure of a cable tie or clamp.

In the context of a further embodiment of the contacting device, the contacting device, in particular the component guide, a quick-release device or a quick-release mechanism. For example, the component guide may comprise at least one lever, wherein a rotational movement of the lever in a translational movement of the two components to each other can be implemented. In particular, the component guide may comprise at least one lever which is movable from a first to a second lever position, wherein the position change of the lever from the first to the second lever position, the second component from the first position in the direction of the first component in the second position is moved, and vice versa. So can quickly and easily made a contact between the circuit board and the electrical line and repealed and a multiple assembly and disassembly can be guaranteed. Preferably, the contact pressure or the first and second component position of the quick-release device or the quick-release mechanism is adjustable. In this way, the contact pressure between the electrical contact surface of the printed circuit board and the contact region, in particular the electrical contact element or the electrical line, can be adjusted. In this way, the contacting device can be set individually to different printed circuit boards and electrical lines.

Within the scope of a further embodiment of the contacting device, the component guide has a component guide spring mechanism, for example with compression springs, which applies a compressive force directed in particular against the pressing force to the first and second component. The pressure force is in particular smaller than the contact pressure. Preferably, the pressure force is just so high that for the introduction of the electrical lines and for insertion and positioning of the electrical contact surfaces, the first and second components can be pushed apart and / or held in a spaced position. By releasing the fixation of the second position, the second component can thus be moved into the first position by the component guide spring mechanism, in particular without further mechanical or manual intervention. In this way, the multiple assembly and disassembly can be advantageously facilitated.

As part of a further embodiment of the contacting device, the first and / or second component further comprises at least one contact spring on which the electrical contact element is resiliently mounted or the electrical line is resiliently storable. In particular, a contact spring can be arranged in the opening through the side facing the first or second component and / or adjacent to the opening through the side facing the first or second component. By this measure advantageously thickness tolerance of the circuit board can be further compensated and guaranteed at least approximately the same or constant contact force between the electrical contact surfaces of the circuit board and the electrical lines or contact elements.

In particular, the first and / or second component may have at least two contact springs, in particular a multiplicity of contact springs. The contact springs can be formed both similar and different. In particular, the contact springs can be adapted differently to the respective environmental parameters, such as the too resilient electrical line, the resilient electrical contact element, the embodiment of the components and printed circuit boards. In this way, an individually adapted, dependent on the contact spring used, contact force can be advantageously provided for different thicknesses of electrical lines, contact elements and contact surfaces.

In the context of a further embodiment, the side of the first component facing the second component has a curvature, for example in the direction of the second component, and / or the side of the second component facing the first component has a curvature, for example in the direction of the first component , on. For example, the first and second components may be configured so that the distance to the center becomes smaller. By this measure, a bending of the first and / or second component when applying the contact pressure and thereby a different contact pressure across the width of the circuit board can be reduced or even avoided.

Within the scope of a further embodiment, the first and / or second component has at least one printed circuit board alignment and / or centering element. For example, the first and / or second component a nose and the circuit board has a recess, for example a slot, preferably a recess corresponding to the nose, or vice versa. For example, at least one, in particular symmetrical, prism-shaped element may be formed on the side of the first component facing the second component and / or on the side of the second component facing the first component. In this way, a printed circuit board with a notch corresponding to the prism-shaped element can be aligned by the prismatic element.

The first and / or second component can comprise, for example, at least two contact areas and line guides and optionally contact springs, in particular a multiplicity of contact areas and line guides and optionally contact springs. In this way, at least two electrical lines, in particular a plurality of electrical lines, with at least two electrical contact surfaces of one or more printed circuit board, in particular a plurality of electrical contact surfaces of one or more printed circuit boards, be contacted.

In this case, the number of contact areas, the number of line guides, the number of electrical contact surfaces and optionally the number of contact springs correspond. The number of electrical lines may also be high or higher, since it is possible to electrically contact two or more electrical lines via a line guide and a contact area with an electrical contact area.

In particular, in the first position at least two, in particular a plurality of, electrical lines via at least two, in particular a plurality of, cable guides in at least two, in particular a plurality of, contact areas of the first and / or second component insertable and at least two, in particular a plurality of, electrical contact surfaces of one or more printed circuit board / n between the first and second component can be inserted and positioned over the contact areas of the first and / or second component. Thus, in the second position, the electrical contact surfaces of the printed circuit board / n can each be directly or indirectly electrically contactable with at least one of the electrical lines.

• b) Überführen des zweiten Bauteils in die zweite Position durch Aufbringen einer äußeren Anpresskraft auf das erste und zweite Bauteil und Fixieren des zweiten Bauteils in der zweiten Position.

Another object of the present invention is a method for electrically contacting a printed circuit board with at least one electrical line with, in particular using, a contacting device according to the invention, comprising the method steps:

• a) introducing an electrical line via the wiring in the contact region and inserting an electrical contact surface of a printed circuit board between the first and second component and positioning the electrical contact surface over the contact region, in the first position of the contacting device, and
• b) transferring the second component into the second position by applying an external contact force to the first and second component and fixing the second component in the second position.

By transferring the contacting device into the second position, the electrical contact surface of the printed circuit board can be contacted with the electrical line directly or indirectly electrically. In this case, the external contact force can be applied, for example, by mechanical or manual compression or compression of the first and second component. By fixing the second component in the second position can advantageously be applied or maintained even after the action of the external contact force, a contact pressure on the electrical contact surface of the circuit board and the contact area, in particular the electrical line or the electrical contact element. By means of this pressing force, advantageously the printed circuit board or the printed circuit board and an electrical line introduced into the contact region can be fixed in the second position.

During method step a), the second component may be fixed in the first position. In this way, the insertion, insertion and positioning can be advantageously simplified.

The external contact force can be applied by a machine, for example. In this way, it can be ensured that a plurality of contacting devices pressed together with the machine have substantially the same contact pressure.

Preferably, the contact pressure of the machine is adjustable. This has the advantage that the contact pressure can be optimally adjusted to the printed circuit board to be contacted and the electrical lines to be contacted.

However, the external contact pressure can also be applied manually. This can advantageously be done without additional aids.

In order to ensure that a plurality of manually pressed-together contacting devices have substantially the same contact pressure, a contacting device with a quick-release device or a quick-release mechanism can be used.

In particular, a contacting device can be used with a quick-release device or a quick-release mechanism whose contact force or whose first and second component position can be adjusted. This has the advantage that the contact pressure can be optimally adjusted to the printed circuit board to be contacted and the electrical lines to be contacted, as well as the advantage that the transfer of the contacting can be done in the second position without additional aids.

In particular, the machine or manually applied, external contact force can be adjusted such that at a predetermined force value, the compression or compression is terminated. By specifying a maximum force value can advantageously be ensured regardless of the thickness of the circuit board, a constant contact pressure.

In method step a), in particular, a multiplicity of electrical lines can be introduced into a plurality of contact areas via a multiplicity of line guides, and / or one or more printed circuit boards can be inserted between the first and second components and a multiplicity of electrical contact areas can be positioned over the multiplicity of contact areas ,

In this case, the number of contact areas, the number of line guides and the number of electrical contact surfaces correspond. The number of electrical lines may also be high or higher, since it is possible to electrically contact two or more electrical lines via a line guide and a contact area with an electrical contact area.
