DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
El conector de cable plano para soldadura ultrasónica preconizado dispone de un soporte para la introducción de un cable plano con un número determinado de pistas y del mismo número de terminales eléctricas para la posterior aplicación de la soldadura.The flat cable connector for ultrasonic welding recommended has a support for the introduction of a flat cable with a certain number of tracks and the same number of electrical terminals for the subsequent application of welding.
El conector está compuesto por diferentes piezas que irán montándose para ajusfar el cable plano y los correspondientes terminales permitiendo posteriormente su soldadura. Se parte de un modulo hembra que dispone de una forma ligeramente prismática y con dos superficies diferenciadas situadas a diferente altura, siendo la inferior de mayor tamaño que la superior.The connector is made up of different parts that will be assembled to adjust the flat cable and the corresponding terminals allowing its welding later. It is based on a female module that has a slightly prismatic shape and with two different surfaces located at a different height, the lower one being larger than the upper one.
La superficie inferior dispone de una serie de nervios o resaltes longitudinales y paralelos que darán lugar a diferentes espacios intermedios en los que se introducirá cada una de las pistas de la zona sin recubrimiento del cable plano, así como los terminales, para su posterior soldadura.The lower surface has a series of longitudinal and parallel ribs or ribs that will give rise to different intermediate spaces in which each of the tracks in the uncoated area of the flat cable, as well as the terminals, will be introduced for subsequent welding.
La secuencia de montaje es la siguiente, primero se introduce el terminal en la cavidad reservada para su ubicación, después se coloca el cable plano, sin pelar, en las pistas reservadas para su ubicación y finalmente se realiza la soldadura entre el cable y los terminales. La soldadura ultrasónica, gracias al diseño del conector, se realizará tanto por la parte superior del conector como por la inferior, a través de las ventanas existentes en el conector. Una vez realizada la soldadura, se introducirá el terminal hembra con los cables en el receptáculo o receptor diseñado al efecto y que protegerá la zona de soldadura que recubre.The assembly sequence is as follows, first the terminal is introduced into the cavity reserved for its location, then the flat cable, without stripping, is placed on the tracks reserved for its location and finally welding between the cable and terminals . Ultrasonic welding, thanks to the connector design, will be carried out both from the top of the connector and from the bottom, through the existing windows in the connector. Once the welding is done, the female terminal with the wires will be inserted into the receptacle or receiver designed for this purpose and that will protect the welding area that it covers.
Los resaltes, en ambos extremos, reducirán su altura hasta la de la superficie inferior, permitiendo el acoplamiento perfecto del cable plano, el cual se configura de acuerdo con el diseño y dimensiones de los resaltes, disponiendo de tres partes diferenciadas, una primera de la misma anchura que el espacio dispuesto entre los resaltes y el conector y que permitirá el perfecto acoplamiento del cable plano al conector, una zona intermedia en la que se presenta el cable plano sin recubrimiento, y una tercera zona, de mayor tamaño que será la que sobresalga del conector macho, permitiendo la utilización del mismo.The projections, at both ends, will reduce their height to that of the lower surface, allowing the perfect coupling of the flat cable, which is configured according to the design and dimensions of the projections, having three different parts, a first of the same width as the space between the projections and the connector and that will allow the perfect coupling of the flat cable to the connector, an intermediate zone in which the flat cable without coating is presented, and a third area, of greater size that will be the one protrudes from the male connector, allowing its use.
En la superficie superior se disponen ventanas del conector en el mismo número que el de las pistas del cable plano y de los terminales a conectar. Configurándose en la parte intermedia de ambas superficies, que tendrá la altura suficiente para albergar el cable plano y el terminal, el mismo número de ventanas o cavidades a fin de permitir la introducción en el conector del terminal.On the upper surface, the connector windows are arranged in the same number as the flat cable tracks and the terminals to be connected. Configuring in the intermediate part of both surfaces, which will have sufficient height to house the flat cable and the terminal, the same number of windows or cavities in order to allow the terminal connector to be inserted.
El conector dispone además de una cubierta de protección que encajará perfectamente con la parte superior e inferior de la base del conector permitiendo obtener una caja perfectamente cerrada, protegiendo la zona de soldadura, y llevando dicha cubierta incorporado un "secondary lock", encargado de realizar una segunda retención. Finalmente será acoplada la caja en el receptáculo o conector macho, fijando el conector donde proceda. Igualmente se puede diseñar un conector mixto, en el que se puedan ubicar cable plano y cable redondo. La disposición física del conector sería igual a la diseñada para el cable plano pero con la particularidad que se podrán introducir cables planos y redondos. La forma de fijación de los terminales del cable plano al conector será igual a la descrita anteriormente, y la forma de fijar el cable redondo será introduciendo el terminal, que lleva insertado cada cable redondo en su extremo, en cada espacio fijado para ello.The connector also has a protective cover that will fit perfectly with the top and bottom of the connector base allowing to obtain a perfectly closed box, protecting the welding area, and carrying said cover incorporated a "secondary lock", responsible for carrying out A second retention. Finally, the box will be attached to the receptacle or male connector, fixing the connector where appropriate. Likewise, a mixed connector can be designed, in which flat cable and round cable can be located. The physical arrangement of the connector would be the same as that designed for the flat cable but with the particularity that flat and round cables may be introduced. The way to fix the terminals of the flat cable to the connector will be the same as described above, and the way to fix the round cable will be by introducing the terminal, which has each round cable inserted at its end, in each space fixed for it.
Los cables redondos quedarán perfectamente delimitados por los resaltes o nervios anteriormente descritos, y con el extremo introducido en las cavidades del conector reservadas para ello.The round cables will be perfectly delimited by the projections or ribs described above, and with the end inserted in the cavities of the connector reserved for it.
Mediante esta nueva invención se permite posicionar correctamente el terminal y evitar que la soldadura sea incorrecta, además también permite posicionar correctamente el cable plano lo que nos asegura también que la soldadura sea correcta, da una mayor resistencia a la tracción a la zona de unión del terminal con el cable plano, se protege la zona de soldadura mediante la cubierta de protección y se introduce una segunda retención el terminal en su cavidad que se lleva a cabo por la cubierta de protección.By means of this new invention, it is possible to correctly position the terminal and prevent the welding from being incorrect, in addition it also allows to correctly position the flat cable, which also ensures that the welding is correct, gives greater tensile strength to the junction zone of the terminal with the flat cable, the welding zone is protected by the protective cover and a second retention is introduced the terminal into its cavity which is carried out by the protective cover.

DESCRIPCIÓN DE UNA FORMA PREFERENTE DE REALIZACIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNDESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED FORM OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
El conector de cable plano posee una base (figura 1) de superficie ligeramente prismática, módulo hembra, que presenta dos superficies diferenciadas, siendo la inferior de mayor tamaño que la superior y en donde la superficie inferior dispone de una serie de resaltes longitudinales 1 que darán lugar a distintas zonas o espacios intermedios 2 en los que se introducirá, en primer lugar los terminales 3, los cuales encajarán y quedarán sujetos en las cavidades 4 situadas entre la superficie inferior y superior de la base (figura 1) del conector, espacio que dispondrá de la altura adecuada para permitir el alojamiento del cable plano 5 y de los terminales 3.The flat cable connector has a slightly prismatic surface base (figure 1), female module, which has two different surfaces, the lower one being larger than the upper one and where the lower surface has a series of longitudinal projections 1 that they will give rise to different zones or intermediate spaces 2 in which the terminals 3 will first be introduced, which will fit and be held in the cavities 4 located between the lower and upper surface of the base (figure 1) of the connector, space that will have the appropriate height to allow the flat cable 5 and the terminals 3 to be accommodated.
Una vez posicionados los terminales 3, se situará en la base del conector el cable plano 5, coincidiendo la zona sin recubrimiento de aislante del mismo 6 con los espacios intermedios 2 dejados por los resaltes 1 y uniendo, por tanto, cada uno de las pistas del cable plano 5 y de los terminales 3 para su posterior soldadura por ultrasonidos.Once the terminals 3 are positioned, the flat cable 5 will be located at the base of the connector, the area without insulating sheathing 6 coinciding with the intermediate spaces 2 left by the projections 1 and thus joining each of the tracks of flat cable 5 and terminals 3 for later ultrasonic welding.
La superficie superior de la base del conector (figura 1) presenta unas ventanas del conector 7 con el mismo número que el de las pistas del cable plano 5 y de los terminales 3. Los terminales 3, introducidos en las cavidades 4 del conector y discurriendo dentro del mismo, quedarán a la vista en estas ventanas superiores 7.The upper surface of the connector base (figure 1) has windows of the connector 7 with the same number as the flat cable tracks 5 and the terminals 3. The terminals 3, inserted into the cavities 4 of the connector and running within it, they will be visible in these upper windows 7.
El cable plano 5 presenta tres partes diferenciadas, una de menor tamaño 8 que encajará en el conector en la zona dejada por los resaltes 1 al disminuir estos su altura, lo que permitirá el perfecto acoplamiento del cable plano 5. La segunda zona del cable plano 6 está constituida por la zona no recubierta del cable plano 5, permitiendo así la soldadura de cada una de sus pistas con los terminales 3. Por último, el cable plano 5 presenta una tercera zona 8 de mayor tamaño que será la que sobresalga del conector permitiendo su utilización.The flat cable 5 has three different parts, one of smaller size 8 that will fit in the connector in the area left by the projections 1 as these decrease in height, which will allow the perfect coupling of the flat cable 5. The second zone of the flat cable 6 is constituted by the uncoated area of the flat cable 5, thus allowing the welding of each of its tracks with the terminals 3. Finally, the flat cable 5 has a third area 8 of larger size which will be the one that protrudes from the connector allowing its use.
Una vez alojado el cable, y realizada la soldadura ultrasónica, la base del conector se cubrirá con la cubierta de protección 9, ajusfando totalmente el conector, que será introducido en el oportuno receptáculo 10 impidiendo que la soldadura realizada se vea dañada.Once the cable is lodged, and the ultrasonic welding is carried out, the connector base will be covered with the protective cover 9, fully adjusting the connector, which will be introduced in the appropriate receptacle 10 preventing the welding performed from being damaged.
Otra forma preferente de realización consiste en utilizar el mismo conector que permite insertar cable plano y redondo. La forma del conector será la descrita en la figura 7 donde se puede ver como se realiza la colocación del terminal 3 y posteriormente el cable plano 5 y realizándose finalmente la soldadura ultrasónica.Another preferred embodiment consists in using the same connector that allows to insert flat and round cable. The shape of the connector will be that described in Figure 7 where you can see how the placement of the terminal 3 and then the flat cable 5 is carried out and finally the ultrasonic welding.
Con el cable redondo 13, se realiza primero la inserción del mismo en el terminal eléctrico 11 , y se inserta en el conector 7.With the round cable 13, the insertion of the same in the electrical terminal 11 is performed first, and inserted into the connector 7.
Después de haber insertado los diferentes componentes que van a ir en el conector 7, para proteger tanto a la soldadura ultrasónica como al conector redondo, se coloca la tapadera 12, situada sobre la zona de contacto con los terminales y adaptándose el grosor de los cables.After having inserted the different components that will go in the connector 7, to protect both the ultrasonic welding and the round connector, the cover 12 is placed, located on the contact area with the terminals and adapting the thickness of the cables .
Finalmente, la forma, materiales y dimensiones podrán ser variables y en general, todo cuanto sea accesorio y secundario, siempre que no altere cambie o modifique la esencialidad de las reivindicaciones realizadas.
