专利说明:

The present invention relates to a pyrotechnic separation device for separating a conductor by a separating die, wherein the separating device comprises a housing in which the separating punch is guided, and an ignition unit for driving the separating punch.
Battery safety systems have the task in automotive safety of switching off certain circuits in the event of an accident in order to minimize the risk of a fire. Consumers that are not required for emergency operation are disconnected from the power supply in order to reduce the risk of fire in the event of a short circuit.
The first electrically operable battery separator systems consisted of available electromechanical components, as exemplified in DE 29613221 U by Gebauer and Griller. Furthermore, it has been convenient to use relays and related constructions for the purpose of powering off, such in DE 19911128 CI by Tyco Electronics.
These electromechanical systems have the disadvantage that they require a high energy for actuation, which must be provided by means of power semiconductors and wiring in a corresponding cross-section. Failing mechanical shocks can cause minute power interruptions that can cause malfunction or damage to sensitive equipment. The latter also applies to the group of disconnectors, in which the conductor ends are connected by a press fit in normal operation, which is opened pyrotechnic when needed, for example, shown in US 6144111 A of BMW. Vibrations and thermal expansion during heating cause a creeping decrease in the bond over the service life, until the above-mentioned effects also occur here.
The next step was equipment, which has a continuous conductor, which is separated if necessary. In DE 10209626 Al and DE 10209625 Al of MBB a conductor is described, which has inside an axially positioned explosive charge, which destroys the conductor if necessary. The main problem of this design is that detonator and ignition cable are permanently heated and aged by the current flow in the conductor. Due to the design, this design has only a low current conductivity. In order to avoid this disadvantage, it has been proposed to position the igniter next to the line and to separate the line by means of a cutting punch, as shown in the patent applications of Dynamit Nobel DE 102004008120 A1 and DE 102004010071 A1. DE 102004008120 A1 describes a separating element in which a continuous current conductor rail is arranged at 90 ° to the separating point, DE 102004010071 A1 describes the cutting die as an independent, inserted bar, wherein the principle of DE 102004008120 A1 is likewise used for illustration in the figures. Switches of this design are limited in their ability to cut both in terms of voltage and in terms of current (at about 1 kA).
The increasing power consumption of the electrical systems, which is accommodated with the 48 V electrical system, and the incipient penetration of the market by electrically powered vehicles create a need for separators at higher voltages. These require technical solutions for the extinction or suppression of the resulting arc, which occurs pronounced at DC voltage from about 30 V.
DE 102010015240 A1 describes a separating device in which the flow of current takes place via a sleeve and a pin inserted therein. When ignited, the bolt is driven out of the sleeve and thus the electrical connection is disconnected. In addition, when ignited by the bursting of an inert gas-filled capsule, the system allows the flow of inert gas to the resulting arc. It has to be questioned whether the inert gas behaves inertly under the conditions in an arc and develops the desired effect. US 7239225 A1 describes a separating element in which, after the separation of the conductor at the predetermined breaking points, a non-conductive mass is brought into position. In one embodiment, the insulating body is sprayed with the housing, which preferably consists of a high-strength, high-temperature-resistant thermoplastic. The problem of the arc is not addressed. Thermoplastic would also have a low resistance to a possible arc.
The generic FR 3017239 Al also breaks the electrical circuit by a non-conductive stamp and extinguishes the arc by dividing into several individual arcs on the principle of Deionkammer. DE 102007033180 likewise adheres to the principle of the deionized chamber, wherein at least two separating plates are arranged along the separating direction. Assuming that the arc voltage of an arc is 50 V, at least five plates are required for hybrid drives in the medium voltage range (300 V). The structure is complex and thus cost or space intensive. DE 102010035684 A1 describes a system in which a flowable medium driven by an auxiliary drive opens a separation point and at least temporarily surrounds it at the moment of separation. The flowable medium has an insulating and arc-quenching effect. The disadvantage is that with this type only heavily pre-stressed conductors, such as. in DE 102010011150 A1, can be separated.
The challenge of reliably separating high currents at high voltages while at the same time having economic system costs has not been satisfactorily solved according to the current state of the art. It is an object of the present invention to provide an economical disconnecting device which allows the disconnection of a circuit with currents of up to 8 kA and at a voltage of up to 500 V and above.
This object is achieved by a separator of the type mentioned in the present invention that between the
Separating punch and the ignition unit an extinguishing agent for suppressing or deleting the arc resulting from the separation is arranged so that it is placed under the ignition under pressure and drives the separator.
In this way, because of the separation stamp as usual, a high force for separating the conductor available so that it must be moderately weakened. Nevertheless, the extinguishing agent comes - after the separator has passed the conductor - in contact with the remaining conductor ends, so that any arc is deleted. Surprisingly, the extinguishing agent is able to take over the drive of the separation stamp, without suffering.
Advantageously, the separating punch has at least one cutting edge, so that a blank is punched out of the conductor when the ignition unit is ignited. As a result, the conductor ends automatically get a relatively large distance to each other - an advantage that can not be achieved in the embodiment according to DE 102010035684 Al. If the separator is rotationally symmetric, then you will choose a circumferential cutting edge, which cuts through the conductor in two places. If the cutting punch is not rotationally symmetric, that is guided in a rotationally fixed, you will provide two spaced cutting edges.
It is favorable if the separating stamp consists of electrically conductive material. As a result, the current can flow unhindered while the separating punch cuts through the conductor; Only after the separator has passed the conductor, an arc could occur, and at this time already meets the extinguishing agent on the conductor ends, which prevents the formation of the arc and extinguishes an already formed arc.
Furthermore, it is favorable if the separating punch consists of a material with a melting point higher than 2000 ° C. As a result, it is not damaged by a possibly short arc and can move away from the conductor unhindered, after he has cut through this.
In the starting position, the separating punch preferably has a spacing of at least 1 mm from the conductor. Even if 1 mm may seem very short, so the separator on this route accelerates very strong when the ignition unit ignites so that it strikes the conductor at a considerable speed, which increases its impact force accordingly.
According to a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that a pressure piston is provided between the ignition unit and the extinguishing agent. As a result, the extinguishing agent is protected from the hot combustion gases which are produced during the ignition of the ignition unit; It therefore only has to withstand the resulting pressure. The pyrotechnic effect is thus transferred via the pressure piston to the extinguishing agent.
To facilitate the separation, it is favorable if the conductor has at least one notch.
According to a further preferred feature of the invention, it is provided that a damping element is provided on the side facing away from the separator of the conductor, so that the separating die is braked after separation of the conductor, preferably with a braking delay of at least 10,000 m / s2. As a result, an elastic reflection of the separation stamp is prevented; by an elastic reflection of the separating punch, which is preferably electrically conductive, could come back into contact with the conductor ends and thus cancel the interruption of the circuit.
It is favorable if, on the side of the conductor facing away from the ignition unit, the separating stamp has at least in some areas a distance from the housing so that the extinguishing agent flows past the separating stamp after separation of the conductor. Thus, the release agent can move even further when the separator is already braked again; this movement of
Release agent causes always fresh, cool release agent comes to the arc, which is favorable for its deletion.
Preferably, the conductor ends of the conductor are movable in the longitudinal direction after the separation. Since the extinguishing agent fills the space between the conductor ends after separation of the conductor, also a flow of extinguishing agent takes place in the separation direction, so that the extinguishing agent exerts pressure on the two conductor ends and thus drives apart, so that due to the mobility of the conductor ends their distance automatically increased.
The extinguishing agent may be a (viscous) liquid at room temperature, but it may also be a gel or a paste. Preferably, the extinguishing agent is silicone or a silicone compound.
Reference to the accompanying drawings, the invention is explained in detail. Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of a separation device according to the invention in a non-triggered state; Fig. 2 shows this embodiment in a triggered state.
The housing of the separating device 1 consists of an upper housing part 2, a lower housing part 3 and a cover plate 4. These housing components are held together by screws 5.
In the upper housing part 2 is an ignition unit 6 with electric lighter 7. Between the upper housing part 2 and the lower housing part 3 is a conductor 8 with its two conductor ends 8a and 8b. The conductor ends 8a, 8b have elongated holes 9a, 9b and are positioned by means of pins 10a, 10b. There are notches 11a and 11b on the bottom of the ladder for easier separation.
Adjacent to the lighter 7 is located in the upper housing part 2, a pressure piston 12, followed by extinguishing agent 13 and separator 14th
In the lower housing part 3 is a chamber 15, which houses a damping element 16, and a vent hole 17th
The housing parts are made of an electrically insulating, impact-resistant material, such as polyamide.
As extinguishing agent 13, a silicone paste is recommended, but it is also oil or sand or the like as extinguishing agent 13 possible.
Successful experiments were carried out with a GTMS igniter with 75 mg ZPP (zirconium / potassium perchlorate) and 45 mg BKNO3 (boron / potassium nitrate) and a cutting die 14 made of free-cutting steel. The pressure piston 12 is made of free-cutting steel or an impact-resistant glass fiber reinforced polyamide. The conductor 8 is made of copper with a cross section of 16x2 mm, at the predetermined breaking points, the cross section is reduced to 16x1 mm.
After triggering (see FIG. 2), the separating punch 14 has cut out of the conductor 8 a circuit board 18 and compressed the damping element 16 so far that only extinguishing agent 13 is located between the conductor ends 8a, 8b. The conductor ends 8a, 8b have moved according to their mobility in the slots 9a, 9b to the outside.
Upon ignition of the lighter 7 in the ignition unit 6, this pressurizes the pressure piston 12 and moves via the extinguishing agent 13, the separating punch 14 against the conductor 8. The separating punch 14 punches from the conductor 8, the board 18 at the notches 11 a, 11 b and pushes she into the chamber 15.
After the separating punch 14 has passed the plane of the conductor 8, the stamped-out board 18 strikes the damping element 16 and is decelerated together with the separating punch 14.
This leads to an increase in pressure in the extinguishing agent 13, which shifts the conductor ends 8a, 8b in the slots 9a, 9b according to their mobility and due to a larger bore diameter of the chamber 15 can also flow past the separating punch 14 into the chamber 15. This ensures a longer-lasting flow of the extinguishing agent 13, which on the one hand has a cooling effect and on the other hand entrains or extends the arc.
This effect can be additionally supported by the separating punch 14 is made of an electrically conductive material, after the mechanical separation acts as a current bridge and thus the arc generation postponed until the extinguishing agent 13 reaches the separation point.
In a further development of this idea, the separating punch 14 may consist of very temperature-resistant metal, for example tungsten.
The movement of the two conductor ends 8a, 8b also serves to extinguish a possibly existing arc, because the length of the arc is increased and the space is filled with extinguishing agent 13.
The early extinction of the arc is important because it is increasingly difficult to suppress with a longer burning time and brings very large amounts of energy with a corresponding adverse effect in the housing.
Another point is therefore that the speed of the separating punch 14 is at least 10 m / s in order to ensure a correspondingly rapid separation of the conductor 8 and a rapid movement of the extinguishing agent 13. The entire separation process can take place in less than 3 ms.
If the force of the igniter 7 is not sufficient for the necessary speed, additional propellant can be applied between the pressure piston 12 and the lighter 7.
The vent hole 17 allows the air to escape from the chamber 15 when filled with the deletion title 13. This prevents that after punching the punched board 18 and the separating punch 14 are pressed again in the direction of their original position, which could lead to a Wiedererkontaktierung.
