Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a device having a plug connection and to a plug connection for electrically connecting an energy store, in particular an accumulator, to a drive unit, in particular an electric motor.
Background
The invention also relates to an electric bicycle, also referred to as an electric bicycle, which has an electric motor for driving or for auxiliary driving, which electric motor receives its energy from a battery. The electric bicycle has a frame in a known manner, wherein the frame is suitable and configured for at least partially, in particular completely, receiving the energy accumulator. For this purpose, the energy accumulator is inserted into the frame or can be removed from the frame again. It is essential here that the energy accumulator as part of the plug connection device has a plug connector, also referred to as a mounting socket. In the region of the frame into which the battery is to be inserted, a further part of the plug connection device, that is to say a further plug connector, which may also be referred to as a mounting plug, is provided. If the battery is inserted into the frame, the two plug connectors are connected to one another, so that the electric motor is electrically connected to the battery, possibly with the control device being connected in between, via the plug connection and the corresponding cable connection.
Disclosure of Invention
The object of the invention is to provide a device having a plug connection, by means of which an energy store of the device can be connected to a drive unit of the device, taking into account the installation position of the energy store and/or the drive unit in the device, and also to provide a plug connection.
The object is achieved by the plug connection according to the invention and by the device according to the invention.
In one aspect, the invention provides an apparatus having a plug connection, an energy store and a drive unit, wherein the energy store can be connected to the drive unit by means of the plug connection and can be brought into its installation position by a pivoting process and at the same time can be contacted by the plug connection.
In accordance with the invention, a plug connection for certain applications (e.g., electric bicycles, electric vehicles, electric devices, and the like) is provided, wherein an energy accumulator is connected to the drive unit via the plug connection and is brought into its installation position by a pivoting process and is simultaneously brought into contact via the plug connection.
In both embodiments (alternatively or additionally), a device (for example an electric bicycle) having a plug-in connection, or a plug-in connection, is realized, by means of which the energy store of the device can be connected to the drive unit of the device, taking into account the installation position of the energy store and/or the drive unit in the device.
In a further development of the invention, it is provided that the plug connection device is plugged together by two plug connectors, wherein one plug connector is a mounting socket and wherein the other plug connector is a mounting plug. The two plug connectors plugged together to form the plug connection device can thus be adapted exactly to the installation situation in the region of the drive unit and in the region of the energy store and can be fitted accordingly.
In order to be able to insert the battery into the frame and remove it again there and at the same time to arrange the battery in the frame in a stationary manner, for example in an electric bicycle, a pivoting operation is necessary.
In a further development of the invention, it is therefore provided that the mounting plug is mounted in a flange, wherein a plug carrier is arranged between the flange and the mounting plug.
The energy accumulator should be pivotable into the frame. For this purpose, the mounting plug is designed in multiple parts in the bicycle frame in order to allow the pivoting. The mounting plug includes a flange that is screwed into the bicycle frame. Thus, the flange is a separate component. The flange may be provided with threads which are screwed into corresponding threads in the bicycle frame. The possibility is therefore provided for the flange to be fastened in the frame, wherein, however, care must be taken if necessary after screwing in to reach the end position of the flange that is provided in the frame. In order to reach such a defined end position, it is alternatively provided that the flange is not screwed directly, but rather is first inserted into an opening, recess or the like and is then fastened to the frame in a suitable manner, preferably by means of screws. Alternatively or in addition to the screw fastening, an adhesive connection, a snap connection, a fastening by means of a retaining clip or a fastener acting in the same way may be conceivable. It should furthermore be mentioned that the flange can optionally also be inserted into an intermediate piece and thereby fixed, for example snapped in again, and that the intermediate piece is then inserted into the bicycle frame and fixed in a suitable manner (in particular as already described above with respect to the flange). That is to say, the mounting of the flange does not necessarily always have to take place directly into the frame.
The plug is mounted in the flange in a floating manner, so that a rotational movement about the axis is possible. The floating mounting plug is inclined in the unplugged state of the plug connection by a one-sided bearing, for example a spring, in order to allow contact with the battery-side mounting socket before the pivoting process of the battery is completely completed. By floating, it is understood that the plug can pivot when the battery is inserted. For example, in an electric bicycle, the surface of the frame is a reference plane for the "inclination", or otherwise defines that "straight" is preferably an angle of 90 degrees between the bearing face flange and the plug flange, which is inclined by 10 degrees by the elastic support means in the case of unassembled battery. After the battery has been set or pivoted, a straight position is then reached, wherein the spring is then loaded with pressure. The angle of 10 degrees may vary +/-25%, preferably +/-10%, depending on the installation.
Although the invention is described above in connection with an electric bicycle, the invention is not limited to this field of application. It is of course conceivable that the plug connection according to the invention can also be used for other applications (for example for electric vehicles, electric devices and the like), in which the energy accumulator is connected to the drive unit by means of the plug connection and is brought into its installation position by means of a pivoting process and contact conduction takes place at the same time by means of the plug connection.
The invention is described below with reference to a plug connection for an electric bicycle, of which only the essential parts are shown and described, while the drive unit (electric motor), the energy store (accumulator) and the bicycle itself are not shown for good clarity.
Drawings
Fig. 1 shows a plug connection 1 in several views;
fig. 2 shows different views of the mounting socket 2;
fig. 3 shows the unit comprising the mounting plug 3, the flange 4 and the plug holder 5 (and optionally the cable 6) in different views.
Detailed Description
Fig. 1 shows a plug connector 1 in several views, which is plugged together by two plug connectors (mounting socket 2 and mounting plug 3). The mounting plug 3 is mounted in a flange 4, wherein a plug carrier 5 is arranged between the flange 4 and the mounting plug 3. Preferably, the mounting plug 3 is arranged in a stationary manner in the plug carrier 5, while the plug carrier 5 is mounted movably, in particular pivotably, in the flange 4. In this case, a further development of the invention is shown in which the mounting plug 3 is arranged in a stationary manner in the plug holder 5, while the plug holder 5 is mounted movably, in particular pivotably, in the flange 4. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, which is not shown, it is conceivable that the mounting plug 3 is movably, in particular pivotably, arranged in the plug carrier 5, while the plug carrier 5 is mounted in a stationary manner in the flange 4.
The mounting socket 2 can be plugged onto the mounting plug 3, for which purpose the two plug connectors 2, 3 have plugging surfaces and plugging geometries corresponding to one another.
In a further development of the invention, as can be seen in fig. 1 and in the right-hand side, the mounting plug 3 has a circumferential seal slightly below its upwardly directed end. The seal ensures longitudinal water tightness between the mounting plug 3 and the mounting socket 2 plugged thereto.
Fig. 2 shows a different view of the mounting socket 2, the mounting socket 2 being suitable and configured for plugging onto a corresponding part of a mounting plug 3 in order to realize a plug connection 1. The mounting socket 2 is connected either in a stationary manner or via a cable 6 to an energy accumulator, in particular an accumulator, not shown here. This means that the mounting socket 2 is fixed in its position relative to the energy store, i.e. is immovable and is actuated together with the energy store. The illustrated mounting socket 2 is particularly suitable and designed for plugging onto a mounting plug 3 by means of a movement, in particular by means of a pivoting movement of a rechargeable battery.
Fig. 3 shows the unit comprising the mounting plug 3, the flange 4 and the plug holder 5 (and optionally the cable 6) in different views. It can be seen that the mounting plug 3 is arranged in a fixed position and immovably in the plug holder 5, while the plug holder 5 is arranged movably, in particular pivotably, in the flange 4. The flange 4 is mounted in a stationary manner, for example in the frame of an electric bicycle, for example screwed in place. With this arrangement, it is possible for the mounting plug 3 to be movable, in particular pivotable, in the flange 4 together with the plug holder 5. This pivoting can be seen very well, for example, in a comparison of the left and middle or left and right illustrations in fig. 1. There, a pivoting of 10 ° is shown, wherein angles greater or less than 10 ° or other directions of movement are also possible.
In addition to the embodiment shown in particular in fig. 3, in which the mounting plug 3 is arranged in the flange 4 via the plug holder 5, it is also conceivable to arrange the mounting plug 3 directly in the flange 4 without the plug holder 5.
The flange 4 has a receiving region for the direct pivoting reception of the mounting plug 3 or for the reception of the plug carrier 5, which receiving region can be arranged by its outer contour at a suitable location in the frame of an electric vehicle, in particular an electric bicycle, for example. For assembly, the receiving region has a circumferentially projecting frame which is provided, for example, with openings through which fastening means, such as bolts, rivets or the like, can be passed in order to place the flange 4 in its mounting position and fix it in its mounting position.
