contraption (1) for contacting a first contact partner with at least another contact partner, characterized in that the surface the first contact partner the surface of the other contact partner at least partially positive fit and solvable surrounds.
The The invention relates to a device for contacting a first Contact partner with at least one other contact partner according to the features the preamble of claim 1.
From the DE 196 05 999 A1 is the contacting of a planar antenna conductor structure known. Here, a signal-processing unit, in particular an antenna amplifier, is arranged via suitable fastening means below a body part of the vehicle. The housing of this unit has a carrier (cantilever arm), at the end of which contacting means are provided. These contacting means are connected via connecting lines, which are arranged in or on the rigid support, with the signal processing unit. The contacting means make contact with contact surfaces of an antenna conductor structure which is located on the vehicle window. On the one hand, it is possible via the carrier to connect the antenna conductor structure to the signal processing unit over a certain distance. Due to the assignment of the installation location of this unit and the contacting surface of the antenna conductor structure but large tolerance ranges are required so that the contact means meet the contact surface of the antenna conductor structure. Another disadvantage of this design is that the entire signal processing unit with the carrier and disposed on the support contact means must be completely replaced when these z. B. have been damaged in a crash of the vehicle. This is a high cost associated with the signal processing unit is usually integrated between the body (vehicle roof) and the headliner and thus is difficult to access.
Farther There is a disadvantage in that with rigid carriers, the component geometry always must be adapted to the respective vehicle type, since everyone Vehicle type opposite others a separate one Has installation space. This adaptation is associated with high costs, for this every carrier for each Vehicle type made different tools for the production of the carrier Need to become.
Of the Invention is therefore based on the object, a device for Contacting a first contact partner with at least one other To provide contact partners, with the initially described Disadvantages avoided and it allows, over the contact also to fix a position.
According to the invention, this charge is achieved in that the surface of the one contact partner at least partially, in particular completely, positively and detachably surrounds the surface of the other contact partner, wherein in a particularly advantageous embodiment, the contact partners in pot shape have corresponding contact parts. Thus, on the one hand the possibility of a simple and cost-effective serial production of these contact partners given as these z. B. from inexpensive sheet metal or other at least on the surface conductive material, in particular by a forming process can be produced. Furthermore, the advantage is that a material can be selected for the contact partners, which can be connected in a simple manner with contact surfaces which are to be contacted with each other. In particular, a soldering process offers itself, wherein other connection methods for electrical contacting are not excluded. Thus, after the production and shaping of the contact partner in pot form, a connection of the molded contact partners, for example, by soldering with a conductor on a circuit board or other comparable contact surface. The pot shape of the two contact parts also has several advantages. Characterized in that the diameter of the one contact part at a certain point or in a certain area is greater than the diameter of the other contact part at a certain point or in a certain area, it comes when squeezing the two Kontakttei le to a rupture of a corrosive layer the surface of the contact parts, thereby improving the contact. In such a case, surface coatings that prevent corrosion of the surface can be omitted. Alternatively, it is also conceivable to provide the contact parts with a surface coating to prevent corrosion. It is also advantageous that the two contact parts are effectively connected to each other by the overlapping, ie corresponding pot shape after assembly, so that even under harsh environmental conditions, especially caused by temperature fluctuations, vibration and the like, the contact is reliably given and maintained becomes. Another advantage is that the two contact parts can be separated from each other again with relatively little effort, which is advantageous in the case of the defect of a device or the like which has the one contact partner. Another advantage is the fact that not only an electrical contact is given on the appropriately shaped contact partner, but also a mounting option is realized. This is particularly advantageous in the application of contacting an antenna amplifier or other device in a vehicle having a circuit board, the one contact partner on the circuit board and the second contact partner on a contact surface of an antenna structure is arranged. In this case, the shape and the position of the contact partners on the circuit board correspond to the contact partners of the antenna structure, so that simply by pressing the circuit board, which may be protected by a housing, the antenna amplifier mounted on the vehicle window or other flat surface of the vehicle, the means can be attached. As a result, a simple assembly and disassembly is possible. Due to the pot shape of the two corresponding contact parts, the electrical contacting and mechanical position fixing is thus produced in a particularly advantageous manner at the same time.
One embodiment the device according to the invention for contacting, to which the invention is not limited, is described below and explained with reference to the figures.
1 : two contact partners before contacting them,
2 : the two contact partners according to 1 after contacting them.
3 FIG. 2 shows a second exemplary embodiment of two contact partners in the contacted state, FIG.
4 : the contact partners according to 3 in the plan view.
5 to 7 a third exemplary embodiment for two contact partners before the contacting and in two different mounting positions,
8th to 10 A fourth embodiment of two contact partners before contacting and in two different mounting positions.
1 shows a first embodiment of a device according to the invention 1 for contacting, which has, for example, a circuit board of an electronic device. This circuit board 2 For example, is carrier of electrical and electronic components that form an antenna amplifier or the like of a motor vehicle. Such an antenna amplifier is known per se and must be contacted at least with a part of an antenna structure which is located on a flat surface of the vehicle (for example rear window). For this purpose, the circuit board 2 a first contact part 3 on who the in 1 having shown pot shape. Corresponding to this is a second contact part 4 provided with the pot shape of the first contact part 3 corresponds. This second contact part 4 has a particular flat contact surface 5 on, in accordance with the invention, the contact surface 5 of the second contact part 4 undetachably connected to the not shown Kontaktflä surface of the antenna structure. That is, the second contact part 4 for example by means of a soldering process over the contact surface 5 can be connected to the contact surface of the antenna structure. A in this way with antenna structures and applied contact parts 4 provided disc or other flat surface of the vehicle can be by simply placing and squeezing the first contact parts 3 with the associated further contact parts 4 electrically contacted and fixed in position. The contacting and position fixing after compression of the two contact parts 3 . 4 is in 2 shown. It can also be seen that, in a particularly advantageous manner, the first contact part tapering upwards in cross-section 3 the second contact part 4 encloses and thus in addition to the electrical contact the circuit board 2 over the two contact parts 3 . 4 is fixed in its installed position. By means of the pot shape, a tolerance compensation is possible in a particularly advantageous manner, in particular, if for contacting a plurality of corresponding contact parts 3 . 4 available.
In the 3 a second embodiment of the device according to the invention is shown. (The second contact part 4 is not shown). Again, it can be seen that the first contact part 3 of a contact partner, the surface of the other contact partner or its second contact part 4 at least partially, in particular completely, positively and detachably surrounds, wherein at least one of the two contact parts 3 . 4 , in this embodiment, the external contact partner 3 , at least one slot 6 , in particular several slots 6 , having. By means of the slots 6 is the associated contact elastically deformable during contacting, so that the two surfaces of the two contact partners can create each other in the contacted state, during the contacting process (placement of a contact part 3 on the other contact part 4 or vice versa) a certain pressure must be applied to contact both contact parts together. To increase the contact force of the two contact parts 3 . 4 to each other is still a pressure element 7 provided, this pressure element 7 in a particularly advantageous manner radially around the outer contour of the outer contact part 3 clings and a force in the direction of the inner contact part 4 generated. Conversely, such a pressure element also within the contact part 4 be arranged, in which case a force at least partially, but in particular completely radially outward in the direction of the contact part 3 is produced. To the position of the pressure element 7 on the at least one contact part (here contact part 3 ) afford, this has a collar shape, especially in its upper part 8th on. This collar shape 8th , which is also present in a completely radially encircling manner, can be simple in the manufacture of the contact part 3 be made by bending, flanging or the like.
4 shows the contact part 3 according to 3 in the plan view.
In the 5 to 7 is a third embodiment of two contact partners before contacting and shown in two different mounting positions. 5 shows the two contact partners before contacting, again from a first contact part 9 and a second contact part 10 consist. For these two contact parts 9 and 10 again it is either the complete contact partner or they may also have other elements, attachments or the like. The first contact part 9 has a sawtooth contact area extending over its longitudinal extension 11 on, including what its contacting the second contact part 10 at least one at least partially, but in particular radially completely encircling triangular projection 12 having, in its outer contour with the sawtooth-shaped contact area 11 of the first contact part 9 corresponds. Also the sawtooth contact area 11 is formed in a particularly advantageous manner completely radially encircling, but may also be formed in sections sawtooth. The two contact parts 9 . 10 are with associated contact surfaces 13 . 14 connectable (eg by attachment) or connected (eg by soldering or the like). For example, the first contact part 9 be arranged in the range of a board of an electronic device (in particular an antenna amplifier), wherein the contact part 9 with the contact surface 13 soldered to the track. The second contact part 10 is with the contact surface 14 For example, by bonding with an electrically conductive adhesive, wherein the contact surface 14 Part of an antenna structure that z. B. is located on a window of a vehicle.
In the 6 and 7 are the two contact parts 9 and 10 shown in the contacted state in two different mounting positions. In 6 is shown that the triangular-shaped projection 12 in the uppermost recess of the sawtooth-shaped contact area 11 of the contact part 9 intervenes. This creates a certain distance between the two contact surfaces, not shown here 13 . 14 so that a height "H" can be set 7 shown that the triangular-shaped projection 12 in a lower recess of the sawtooth-shaped contact area 11 engages, so that thus a lower height "H" between the two contact surfaces 13 . 14 opposite to the 6 Height differences can thus be compensated for in a particularly advantageous manner. Likewise, again with this design of the two contact parts 9 . 10 The electronic device not only contacted, but also attached. The contact parts 9 . 10 as they are in the 5 to 7 are shown, may have a round cross-section in a particularly advantageous manner. In addition, however, are also elongated cross sections, especially with open edge areas, possible, so as to create not only a height compensation, but also a longitudinal compensation. Moreover, it is not necessarily required that the triangular projection 12 completely at the associated area of the sawtooth contact area 11 is applied. Here is also at least partially a distance conceivable. In a particularly advantageous manner, however, lies the triangular projection 12 under a certain bias on the sawtooth contact area 11 to allow a permanent contact and play-free position fixation. In addition to the sawtooth or triangular configuration shown and described, other geometrical shapes (such as, for example, wavy course) are also conceivable. However, the sawtooth contact area has 11 and the associated triangular projection 12 on the one hand the advantage of optimally ensuring the contact and position fixation, while on the other hand again disassembly is possible.
In the 8th to 10 is a fourth embodiment of two contact partners before contacting and shown in two different mounting positions. Analogous to the 5 is in 8th shown that again a first contact part 15 and a second contact part 16 available. The second contact part 15 also has a sawtooth contact area 17 on while the second contact part 16 a correspondingly triangular projection 18 having. Likewise, the two contact parts 15 . 16 with contact surfaces 19 . 20 connected or connectable. Looking at the 9 and 10 it can be seen that by means of the two contact parts 15 . 16 again contacts and position fixings between the two contact surfaces 19 . 20 (not shown here) are possible, so that here too different heights "H" can be adjusted 8th to 10 illustrated sawtooth-shaped area 17 and the associated projection 18 Only the contact in one direction is possible while disassembly is prevented. Also these contact parts 15 . 16 have advantageously circular cross-section, with other cross sections, such as in particular rectangular cross-sections and those with an open edge region, are conceivable. Are, for example, several contact parts 15 arranged with rectangular or square cross-sections aligned with each other and these with corresponding contact parts 16 contacted, a disassembly is possible even in this form of sawtooth, namely in which also arranged in alignment contact parts 16 be moved in the direction of the escape.
In conclusion, be It should be noted that, although in the figures specifically four embodiments have been shown, according to the concept of the invention also further embodiments or embodiments are conceivable.
