Technical Field

The present invention relates to a ground contact (contact) for making an electrical contact between a ground cable and a member having a surface of a conductive member.

Background

Grounding contacts are known which have a first contact surface for bearing on a component surface, a second contact surface for grounding cable connection and a passage for a fixing element by means of which the grounding contact is fixed on the component. In order to achieve the desired electrical contact, it should be ensured that the first contact surface is in surface contact with the component surface. The requirements for accuracy in the fixing are therefore particularly high.

Disclosure of Invention

The object of the invention is to ensure a planar support of the first contact surface on the component surface even with less accurate fixing.

The object of the invention is achieved by a grounding contact for electrically contacting a grounding cable with a component having an electrically conductive component surface, having an electrically conductive contact plate and a fixing element (attachment element), wherein the contact plate has a first contact surface for planar bearing of the contact plate on the component surface, a second contact surface for contacting the grounding cable on the contact plate and a channel for the fixing element; wherein the fixing member includes a fixing portion for fixing the fixing member in the component, a pressing member for pressing the contact plate against the component surface, and a holding portion for disposing the contact plate in the passage when the pressing member presses the contact plate against the component surface; wherein the first contact surface may be inclined with respect to the fixation portion by an inclination angle of at least 6 ° when the retention portion is disposed in the channel. In this way, a planar support of the first contact surface on the component surface can also be ensured when the fastening element is fastened to the component at an angle of at most 3 ° to the surface normal of the component surface. Preferably, the first contact surface can be inclined relative to the fixing portion at an inclination angle of at least 10 °, particularly preferably at least 20 °. In this way, a planar bearing of the first contact surface on the component surface can also be ensured when the fastening element is fastened to the component at an angle of at most 5 ° or at most 10 ° to the surface normal of the component surface.

According to a preferred embodiment, the holding part is rigidly connected to the fastening part. According to a likewise preferred embodiment, the first contact surface is rigidly connected to the channel.

According to a preferred embodiment, the channel is configured as a cylindrical bore having a bore diameter and a bore length, in which case the holding part is configured as a cylindrical shank part having a shank diameter. Preferably, the ratio of the difference between the hole diameter and the rod diameter to the hole length is at least 0.05, preferably at least 0.1, particularly preferably at least 0.2. Thereby it will be ensured that the first contact surface can be sufficiently inclined with respect to the fixation part.

According to a preferred embodiment, the pressing element is rigidly connected to the holder. The pressing element is preferably formed as a stop shoulder on the holder. This will simplify the way the ground contact is constructed.

According to a preferred embodiment, the ground contact has a sealing washer, which is arranged between the pressing element and the contact plate. This ensures that the fastening portion of the fastening element is sealed against possible corrosive environments.

According to a preferred embodiment, the fixing element has a fixing portion for fixing the ground cable on the second contact surface. The fastening part is preferably designed as a bolt for driving into a bore of the component. Particularly preferably, the plug part has a thread, in particular a self-forming thread, for screwing into the bore.

Fig. 1 shows a ground contact.

Detailed Description

Fig. 1 shows a ground contact 1 for making an electrical contact between a ground cable 2 and a component 3 having an electrically conductive component surface 4. The ground contact 1 comprises an electrically conductive contact plate 5 having a first contact surface 6 for surface contacting (i.e., surface engaging) the contact plate 5 on the component surface 4 and a second contact surface 7 for contacting the ground cable 2 on the contact plate 5. Here, the earth cable 2 has a cable lug 8. The ground contact 1 further comprises a fixing element 9, which comprises a fixing portion 10 for fixing the fixing element 9 in the component 3, a pressing element 11 configured as a stop shoulder and for pressing the contact plate 5 against the component surface 4, and a retaining portion 12 arranged in a channel 13 of the contact plate 5. The earth cable 2 has a conductor cross-section of 50mm2 and above, for example 95mm 2. The first contact surface 6 has a surface area of 250mm2 and more, for example 400mm 2. The first contact surface 6 and/or the second contact surface 7 are galvanized, for example hot dip galvanized.

The fixing part 10 is configured as a peg for press-fitting in a hole 17 of the component 3. The anchoring portion 10 has a self-forming thread 18 for screwing into the hole 17. In an embodiment not shown, the fixing part is configured as a blunt setting screw without a threaded portion for linear press-fitting into the bore; or the holding part has a screw-in tip or a nail tip for driving directly into the component without a hole. The fixing element 9 also has a fixing portion 14 for fixing the ground cable 2 on the second contact surface 7. For this purpose, the fixing part 14 is provided with an external thread 15, on which a nut 16 is screwed, which presses the cable lug 8 of the earth cable 2 against the second contact surface 7.

The ground contact 1 also comprises a sealing gasket which is arranged between the pressing element 11 and the contact plate 5. In order to be able to seal the fastening portion 10 of the fastening element 9 against the surroundings, the sealing gasket comprises an inner sealing ring 19 made of an elastic material and a cover plate 20 made of a rigid material (for example a metal or an alloy, for example steel). The inner sealing ring 19, the cover plate 20, the sealing washer and/or the pressing element 11 are received in a recess 21 of the contact plate 5 provided for this purpose. The ground contact 1 also has an outer sealing ring 22 which is arranged between the contact plate 5 and the component 3 in order to seal the first contact surface 6 from the environment. The electrical contact between the first contact surface 6 and the component surface 4 can thus be protected from possible corrosive effects in the surroundings by the inner sealing ring 19 and the outer sealing ring 22.

The fixing element 9 is integrally made of an alloy such as steel or a metal, so that the fixing portion 14, the pressing element 11, the holding portion 12 and the fixing portion 10 are rigidly connected to each other. The contact plate 5 is likewise integrally made of a metal such as copper or an alloy such as steel, so that the first contact surface 6, the second contact surface 7 and the channel 13 are rigidly connected to one another.

The channel 13 is configured as a cylindrical bore with a bore diameter of 6.0mm and a bore length of 2.0mm, which is equal to the thickness of the contact plate 5 in the region of the channel 13. The holding portion 12 is configured as a cylindrical rod portion having a rod diameter of 5.6 mm. The ratio of the difference between the hole diameter and the rod diameter (i.e., 0.4mm) to the hole length (i.e., 2.0mm) was 0.2. Thereby enabling the first contact surface 6 to be inclined at an angle of inclination of about 11.3 deg. in any direction relative to the fixed part 10, so that the total angle of inclination is about 22.6 deg.. When the fastening element 9 is fastened to the component 3 at an angle of 90 ° -11.3 °, 78.7 °, or more, relative to the component surface 4, it will be sufficient to ensure that the first contact surface 6 bears flat against the component surface 4.
