Abstract

Procedure mounting at least one power electronic unit of a transport segment of a long-stator linear motor onto the transport segment. At least one socket is arranged on the transport segment to accommodate at least one contact element of the drive coil arranged in the socket. At least one clamping element is inserted into the socket with a clamping section. The contact element of the drive coil, while creating an electroconductive connection to the clamping section of the clamping element, is fixed into the socket by the clamping element. At least one contact point of the at least one power electronic unit, while creating an electroconductive connection, is connected directly to a connecting section of the clamping element. The contact element is first arranged in the socket, then the clamping element is inserted into the socket, and then the contact point is connected directly to the connecting section.

First claim

1 . Assembly procedure for connecting at least one power electronic unit to a transport segment of a long-stator linear motor, wherein the transport segment comprises at least one drive coil with at least two contact elements, and the at least one power electronic unit comprises at least two contact points that correspond to the contact elements of the drive coil, wherein an electroconductive connection is created between the contact elements of the drive coil and the contact points of the at least one power electronic unit, wherein at least one socket is arranged on the transport segment to accommodate at least one contact element of the drive coil, the at least one contact element of the drive coil is arranged in the socket, at least one clamping element corresponding to the socket is inserted into the socket with a clamping section, wherein the contact element of the drive coil, while creating an electroconductive connection to the clamping section of the clamping element, is fixed into the socket by the clamping element, and wherein at least one contact point of the at least one power electronic unit, while creating an electroconductive connection, is connected directly to a connecting section of the clamping element, wherein first the contact element of the drive coil is arranged in the socket, then the clamping element is inserted into the socket with the clamping section, and then the contact point of the power electronic unit is connected to the connecting section of the clamping element by soldering or plugging in.

2 . Assembly procedure according to claim 1 , wherein at least two sockets for accommodating at least one contact element each are arranged on the transport segment, the at least two contact elements are arranged in the sockets, at least two clamping elements corresponding to the sockets, each having a clamping section, are inserted sequentially or simultaneously into the sockets, and wherein at least two contact points of the at least one power electronic unit are connected sequentially or simultaneously to the connecting sections of the clamping elements.

3 . Assembly procedure according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one contact element of the drive coil is executed as an electroconductive wire with an outer insulating layer, as a so-called “enameled” wire, and wherein the at least one clamping element is executed as a cutting and clamping element with a cutting and clamping section, wherein when the cutting and clamping element is inserted into the at least one socket, the outer insulating layer of the contact element of the drive coil is severed by the cutting and clamping section to create the electroconductive connection.

4 . Assembly procedure according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting section of the clamping element is executed as a clip-connection section, and the corresponding contact point of the power electronic unit is executed as a clip-contact point, wherein to connect the power electronic unit to the clamping element, the clip-connection section is inserted into the clip-contact point of the power electronic unit that corresponds to it by applying a press-in force.

5 . Assembly procedure according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one contact point of the power electronic unit is executed as an opening with a closed circumferential surface corresponding to the shape of the connecting section of the clamping element that penetrates the power electronic unit, and that when the power electronic unit is connected to the clamping element, the connecting section at least partially penetrates the opening and is completely enclosed by the closed circumferential surface.
