    A pyrotechnic current isolator (1) for severing a conductor (2) by means of a separating piston (8) is composed of a lower part (6) and an upper part (5) in which an igniter (7) is arranged. The conductor (2) is inserted between the lower part (6) and the upper part (5) and has holes (4a, 4b). According to the invention, the screws (13a, 13b), which connect the lower part (6) and the upper part (5) to each other, extend through the holes (4a, 4b), so that no additional elements are required to fix the conductor (2) in the longitudinal direction , The screws (13a, 13b) also serve to stiffen the housing. If e.g. A collecting chamber for the separating piston (8) or the circuit board (12) punched out by it tapers away from the conductor (2) ) is recorded.

    The present invention relates to a pyrotechnic
    Current isolator, in which a conductor is severed by pressurization, the current isolator having a housing which has a lower part and an upper part with an igniter, the lower part and upper part are connected to one another by screws and the conductor is inserted between the lower part and upper part and has holes through which
    Extend elements that fix the conductor in the longitudinal direction.
    The increase in traffic and the associated
    Pollutant emissions from vehicles have become a major problem, especially in inner-city areas.
    One possible solution is currently seen in electrical (BEV) and
    Hybrid vehicles, the largest growth is predicted for the latter. The advantage of hybrid vehicles is that a motor / generator element is used for the frequent starting and braking processes, which has a high degree of efficiency when starting off and returns the energy to the energy storage when braking. This electricity storage, which is small compared to a fully electric vehicle, nevertheless has a very high short-circuit current, which must be reliably switched off in the event of damage.
    Current isolators for automotive applications have been known for a long time, typical versions are the PSS1 and PSS2 from
    Autoliv, the basic structure of which is described in DE 102004023415 A1. Due to the construction by means of multiple angled
    However, ladders can only be manufactured at considerable financial expense and have only limited protection against water.
    A further design is described in WO 2012/025272 A1 from Autokabel, in which the manufacture of the conductor by soldering the two conductor sections is a main cost driver. Here the separation is not carried out by a separating piston, but by a liquid / pasty separating and extinguishing agent. The mandatory filling with liquid / pasty release and extinguishing agent is only required for certain requirements.
    / 13
    Finally, there are the saffron concepts,
    WO 2016/038044 A1, the principle of which is also an elaborate multi-stage separation of the conductor, is also here
    Manufacturing the conductor is complex and the system is not waterproof. Here the housing consists of an upper part and
    The lower part, upper part and lower part are held together by four screws at the four corners.
    A device of the type mentioned is out
    WO 2017/0668161 A1 known. The case is also through here
    Screws held together, being the counterpart to the
    Screw nuts are provided. The conductor is fixed in the housing using pins.
    It is an object of the present invention to simplify the construction of this current isolator and thereby to reduce the manufacturing costs.
    This object is achieved according to the invention by a current isolator of the type mentioned at the outset in that the elements which fix the conductor in the longitudinal direction are formed by the screws which connect the lower part and the upper part to one another.
    According to the invention, the screws fulfill a double function: they not only hold the upper part and lower part together, but also fix the conductors in the housing. This not only saves components, it also simplifies assembly.
    The screws are preferably insulated from the conductor.
    This prevents the separation point from being bridged by connecting the screws after the conductor has been separated. This insulation can be done by a sleeve, which can also be molded onto the upper part or lower part.
    In a preferred embodiment, the current isolator has a separating piston, which is one when the conductor is separated
    Punch the board out of the conductor so that two separate conductor sections remain, with a collecting chamber for the board and the separating piston being provided on the / 13 igniter side of the conductor, as is also the case with the generic WO 2017/0668161 A1.
    If the collecting chamber tapers away from the conductor, so that when
    Braking of the circuit board and separating piston creates a bending moment, this is absorbed by the screws. So the screws stiffen the housing.
    As an alternative to this, the separating piston can be braked in that it is designed in steps so that the separating piston with the
    Step hits the conductor sections. Since the conductor sections are fixed by the screws, the force required for braking is also transmitted to the screws and absorbed by them.
    If the step is carried out obliquely, a force is also exerted on the conductor sections in the longitudinal direction thereof by the
    Screws is absorbed directly as a shear force, so that the load on the screws is reduced.
    In the case of the graduated separating piston in particular, it is advantageous if the heads of the screws rest on the lower part and thereby reinforce the housing in the area of impact of the separating piston and circuit board.
    The conductor is preferably against the housing by a
    Seal sealed against the ingress of water. If the
    Gasket is sprayed onto the conductor, no additional components are necessary.
    The screws are preferably secured against automatic loosening. This can be done in a known manner
    Glue done.
    Furthermore, the screws can be secured against deliberate loosening. This can be done by means of a screw contour that is destroyed when a dedicated tightening torque is reached, e.g. by means of a multi-part screw head, of which at least a part breaks off when a / 13 dedicated torque is reached. But it can also be done by means of a screw contour, the
    Allows only one direction of force, e.g. the directional application of force can take place over at least one surface with a wedge-shaped cross section.
    The screws are preferably screwed directly into the lower part or upper part made of plastic and have a thread optimized for adhesion in plastic. To this
    This way you can not only save the nuts and thus simplify assembly, it will be the housing as a result of the direct
    Connection of screw and upper or lower part also better stabilized. The screws preferably have an extraction force of at least 500 N.
    The present invention is explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 shows a current isolator according to the invention in section, FIG. 2 shows a variant thereof with a different braking of the separating piston, FIG. 3 shows a current isolator with an integrated signal line, which is also disconnected when the pyrotechnic switch is triggered, in one
    Section, which is rotated by 90 ° in comparison to FIGS. 1 and 2, and FIG. 4 the separating piston of the current isolator of FIG. 3 in a perspective view.
    1 has a current isolator 1 according to the invention
    Conductor 2 with conductor sections 3a, 3b, the conductor 2 through
    Holes 4a, 4b can be fixed in the housing. The housing consists of an upper part 5 and a lower part 6. In the upper part there is an igniter 7 and a separating piston 8 with a groove
    9, which contains an O-ring 10. The conductor 2 has two predetermined breaking points 11a, 11b in the interior of the housing, one in the middle
    Limit section 12. If this section 12 is separated from the conductor, it is also called a circuit board. So far the design corresponds to the existing concepts.
    In order to prevent the separated circuit board from coming into contact again, it is necessary for the circuit board to be held in place in the lower part 6/13 after the current isolator 1 has been triggered. These structural elements can, for example, have a knob-like design.
    The separating piston 8 preferably has a concave cutting surface, which enables a clean separation of the conductor 2.
    Furthermore, a clean separation process is made possible in that the conductor 2 has a larger width outside the housing than at the separation points.
    Deviating from this, the upper part 5 and the lower part 6 are through
    Screws 13a, 13b held together, which lead through the conductor 2 and thus not only fix the conductor 2 and the
    Hold the housing halves together, but also reinforce them.
    This means that additional metallic reinforcements can be omitted.
    In the holes 4a, 4b through the conductor sections 3a, 3b, insulation 14a, 14b can ensure the contact between the screws 13a,
    13b and the conductor sections 3a, 3b prevent. This insulation can be part of the upper or lower part 5 or 6 or an independent part.
    The screws 13a, 13b are particularly preferably inserted from the side remote from the igniter, as a result of which the heads 15a, 15b of the
    Screws 13a, 13b for structural reinforcement of the
    Bottom part 6 will be. As a result, the circuit board 12 punched out by the separating piston 8 during the separating process can be securely caught.
    The collecting chamber 16 for the circuit board 12 is conical, so that when the circuit board 12 (and possibly the separating piston 8) is braked, a bending moment is generated on the screws 13a, 13b and these serve as structural reinforcement. This bending moment causes the screws to be pressed against the plastic in the transverse direction, which increases their axial holding force. In this
    In design, the screws 13a, 13b can also be inserted from the igniter side.
    Screws with a plastic thread are preferred as screws. These are large compared to metric screws / 13
    Incline, significantly more material between the threads and a largely axial load on the carrier material. Screws with are particularly preferred
    Pull-out forces of at least 500 N. The screws can be equipped with a safety device to prevent them from loosening (e.g. in the event of vibration), for example by serrations or ribs on the
    Screw head.
    The screws on the head can have a contour for transmitting the screwing-in and tightening torque, which becomes ineffective when a defined torque is reached, for example by tearing off part of the head. This effectively prevents disassembly.
    To achieve watertightness, especially after
    Shot, a seal 17 is provided, this is particularly preferably sprayed onto the conductor 2 and consists of customary sealing materials, for example EPDM or TPE with approximately 70 shore, here too the fixing of the conductor sections 3a, 3b helps during and after the separation process through the Screws 13a, 13b to ensure tightness.
    In Fig. 2, another design is shown in which the
    Separating piston 8 is designed as a stepped piston and the position of the predetermined breaking points 11a, 11b and the diameter of the
    Collection chamber 16 are adapted to the smaller, distant diameter 19. In this design, the smaller diameter 19 remote from the igniter separates the central section 12 of the conductor from the conductor 2 when the igniter 7 is activated, the conductor sections 3a, 3b subsequently being used as a path limitation for the
    Separating pistons 8 are used and therefore the fixing of the conductor ends by the screws is particularly favorable. If the step of the piston is oblique (frustoconical), forces act on the conductor sections 3a, 3b in their longitudinal direction, as a result of which the screws are again pressed laterally against the plastic.
    A current isolator 1 of the type described above can also be equipped with an additional isolating device for a signal line 18/13, as shown in FIG. 3. This additional separating device generally becomes effective only after the conductor 2 has been separated in order to document the separation process and to initiate any subsequent steps. A separating piston 8 according to the invention in combination with the signal line 18 is shown in FIG. 4.
    The separating piston 8 has a predetermined orientation to the conductor, which is ensured in the exemplary embodiment by tabs 16a, 16b. The signal line 18 has two ends 19a,
    19b and a separation area 20. In the separation area 20 of the
    Signal line 18 engages a pin 21 of the separating piston 8.
    When the igniter 7 is ignited, the separating piston 8 separates the central one
    Section 12 of the conductor 2, and the pin 21 of the separating piston 8 tears through the signal line 18. In the preferred embodiment, the geometry of the separation area of the signal line 18 and the pin 21 is designed such that the conductor 2 is disconnected first and then the signal line 18 is separated. An embossed signal line 18 provides a more precise definition of the tear point.
    The separating piston 8 ensures the insulation between the conductor 2 and the signal line 18 before, during and after the separation process.
    The assembly is particularly advantageous in that the
    Conductor loop of the signal line 18 after the extrusion coating
    The upper part 5 protrudes downwards, the separating piston 8 with the O-ring 10 is inserted and the conductor loop of the signal line 18 is bent onto the separating surface between the upper part 5 and the lower part 6 and over the pin 21 of the separating piston 8, after which the lower part is put on and screwed on.
    In a so-called leadwire version, i.e. leading out the contact points of igniter 7 and signal line 18 to an external connector, the signal line can be made in one piece. In this case it is the
    Signal line around a wire or a strand, which in the
    Separation area preferably has no insulation, and is injected in the housing.
    / 13
    Furthermore, it is with Leadwire variants, where the igniter 7 and the
    Ignition cable are injected in the upper part, particularly advantageous if the signal line 18 is also injected in the housing, specifically in the lower part 6.
    In a preferred variant, the cables of the ignition line leave the upper part 5 parallel to the conductor level, and the cables of the signal line 18 also leave the lower part 6 parallel to the conductor level, particularly preferably the ignition line and the signal line exit in the same direction. at
    If necessary, a connector can also be attached here.
    The watertightness of this system can be ensured by a sealing ring
    - as shown above - can be achieved, mostly in combination with one (four-pin) waterproof connector or two (two-pin) waterproof connectors.
