Description

TECHNICAL AREA

The invention relates to an electromechanical, two Connection device containing connecting parts. This both connection parts can be electrically conductive with one another get connected. The one connecting part acts as a kind of socket and the other connector as a kind Plug. Through such electromechanical connections directions can be electrical currents or data streams of different kinds and to the most different Be transferred for purposes. The respective use and Purpose largely determines the training of the relevant electromechanical connecting device.

STATE OF THE ART

From DE-A 199 30 642 an electromechanical Ver Binding device of the type mentioned is known. Your both as a kind of socket or as a kind of plug connecting parts used each have several elec trical contact elements. The contact elements of each type finally lie with their mutual contact surfaces in an elastically deformable wall. Are each three contact elements so on a magnet, which is also in the respective elastic wall of the two connection parts is embedded, connected that when opening the magnet of one of the connecting parts meet the associated magnet of the other connector also the three connected to each of the two magnets electrical contact elements with in their electrical Contact position are pulled together.  

PRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION

The invention is based on this prior art based on the task of an electromechanical connection device of the type mentioned at the beginning as universal as possible and in particular also as possible can be used universally in a vehicle.

This invention is characterized by the features of claim 1 given. Useful developments of the invention are Subject of itself following claim 1 further claims.

The connecting parts of the electromechanical connection direction have electrical contact elements that over Magnetic forces are moved into their contact position. According to the invention, in addition to the contact elements in at least one central channel for each connection part provided through which it is still possible additionally cables that are not connected to the electrical contact elements are connected to each other through the to contact electromechanical connection device. These additional cables can be one or more Fiber optic cables, power cables or, for example, antenna cables his.

More details on such connectors are Characteristically further claims and an execution example. According to a preferred Embodiment provides that the additional cable is an antenna cable, so accordingly in both Connecting parts the respective cable end as HF contact trained ends. The two RF contacts of the two Connection parts can be in a circular cylindrical one hand  Forming in one connector and in one cantilever sleeve in the other connector. The projecting sleeve can be in the circular cylindrical Formation be pushed in, as well as that alone taken with prior art antenna connectors heard.

In the present case, the cantilever can be provided Form sleeve releasably from the central channel. Such offers itself if there is no additional cable, such as an antenna cable through which electromechanical connection device to be looped through.

In addition, the mouth of the Channel ends can be closed in both connection parts in particular to form coverable.

To ensure an optimal mutual contact of the contact elements to reach both connectors, which is all the more problematic , the more contact elements are present, is according to the embodiment shown in the drawing provided three (or only two) Contact elements of each connection part as a group together by a magnetic holding force on one the same number of contact elements group of contact elements of the other connecting part to dock. Up to three contact elements can also be in the event of a slanted mutual approach to the corresponding one Apply the number of contact elements equally well. in the In the present example, the group of for example three contact elements in one elastic Embed molding, the part of an elastic body is. In the elastic body of each connector thus several groups of, for example, three contacts  elements available. The multiple moldings can be in Align borders with each other as desired. Besides, one is elastic deformability within the elastic Given molding. For the purpose of optimal plant is in the present case the elastic deformability between the neighboring moldings larger than them within each Molding.

This different elasticity can be due to different Way to be realized. According to that in the drawing illustrated embodiment is a one-component Body present as an elastic body, in which the different elasticity through different Material thickness is generated. So are the molded parts in which Groups of three contact elements, for example are embedded, thicker than the joint areas with which butt adjacent moldings. However, it is also possible the moldings from a relatively less to produce elastic material and with a contrast to bend flexible plastic material (extrusion coating) and from this elastically relatively soft material also Butt areas between adjacent moldings and thus the to form the entire outer surface of the elastic body.

As also shown in the drawing, are in one elastic molding each a magnet or a group of Magnet together with the three contact, for example elements embedded. The contact elements are So in every molded part it is pliable with the magnet or magnets of the molding concerned. When connecting the the two connectors pull the magnet or magnets that are opposite each other in the connecting parts. The contact elements of the relevant one Molded parts with tightened.  

In order even with an assumed not completely axial mutual alignment of the contact elements a good To enable contacting between the contact elements, are the front contact surfaces in the present case the contact elements of the one connecting part approximately even and the contact surfaces of the contact elements of the other connecting part is arched. Also are something in the connector serving as a socket arranged sunk. By touching the The end face of the socket connector is thereby its possibly under tension Contact elements not touched. This increases the protection against accidental contact such socket outlets. Measures for one such protection against contact is superfluous, however between the contact elements and the electrical supply line a work sled to the socket connector it is provided as it is basically from EP 0 573 471 is known.

The electrical wiring technology for the contact elements, which is regularly relatively rigid, can Mobility of the elastic body as it were affect floating contact elements. Around Full mobility can be maintained after a essential development of the invention with electrical provided conductive foil provided flexible film be the one with their web ends at the contact elements is attached and that with their other railway Ends connected to contact points in the rear part of the respective connecting part, without Contact with the elastic body, are present. This Contact points can be, for example, contact pins that then electrically conductive to the by means of a connector Supply line of the relevant connection part connected can be. Details for one with electrical  conductive sheets are equipped with flexible film exemplary further claims as well as the execution example.

The magnets used in the connecting parts can be coded, like that also mentioned in the introduction State of the art is described. By means of the coded Magnets can only be achieved as specific plugs connecting parts to serving as a socket Connecting parts can be connected; only if the mutual magnets that hold the magnetic holding force make sure the same between the connectors Have coding, which can be in the elastic body floating contact elements in their Contact position are shifted. Only by appropriate displacement of the contact elements caused by magnetic force the contact elements get into their electrical senior contact position.

Special encodings of the magnets result in practically unlimited application possibilities. A separate code for the electromechanical connecting device of a corresponding system can thus be provided for each application. A wide variety of electrical and electronic devices can be used in the system. This makes such a system ideal for vehicles. Thus, the electromechanical connecting devices according to the invention can be used for all electrical devices available to the occupants in a vehicle. The connecting part serving as a plug can thus be connected, for example, to a cell phone, to a fax machine, to a notebook, to a so-called small computer such as a "PDA" (Personal-Digital-Assistant) or also to devices with higher power consumption. Since these devices use different wires of the existing, for example, 18 wires of the mating connector (socket connection part) for the power supply and for data transmission, the same connector 25 a can be used in the same way for a wide variety of electrical and electronic devices. The wiring of the plug 25 a will be adapted to the device connected in each case and thus regularly comprise less than 18 wires. The plug connector therefore always fits the same type of socket connector. This means that the same socket connector can be used for all applications. It then makes sense to place the socket connection part at the locations in a vehicle type desired by the occupants of a vehicle. The respective electrical or electronic device can then be connected with its plug connection part to each of the existing socket connection parts in the vehicle.

In the electromechanical shown in the drawing Connection device are each connected to each other connecting parts not only by magnetic forces, but also through a positive locking force held together. The operational safety of the electrome chanic connection is increased; it's not like that possible a connector part of the example pull out another socket connector part, what with one connection technology caused only by magnetic forces could in principle be the case.

The additional positive holding force between two Connection parts can be opened by a type of bayonet lock technically simple way.  

More details on this type of bayonet lock are feature further claims and an exemplary Take embodiment. According to one preferred embodiment provided that the cantilever parts the bayonet lock and the one back each recesses in the other section closing part of the bayonet locking among each other are shaped differently. This ensures that the Cantilever parts only in very specific recesses and thus in their undercuts can be introduced. this has with the result that the two connecting parts are only in mutually aligned rotational alignment attached to each other can be.

Further refinements and advantages of the invention Connecting device are those in the claims further Features listed and the following execution example.

WAYS OF CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

From an electromechanical connection device 10 ( FIG. 8), the two connection parts 12 , 14 of this connection device are in principle Darge in FIGS . 1 and 3. The connector shown in Fig. 1, which serves as a kind of socket, is also referred to below as a current generator 12 and the connector shown in Fig. 3, which serves as a type of connector, hereinafter also referred to as current collector 14 . The current generator 12 is regularly connected to a voltage source, while the Stromab taker 14 is connected via its feed line 16 to an electrical or electronic device.

The current transmitter 12 has several, in the present case 18 electrical contact elements 20 on its end face, which are arranged on the end face 18 in a largely uniform manner. The approximately rod-shaped contact elements 20 are embedded in an elastic body 22 . Its end face contact surface 24 is somewhat recessed in the end face 18 of the elastic body 22 . Your contact surface 24 is flat in the present case.

The current collector 14 also has an elastic body 26 which corresponds to the elastic body 22 . 18 electrical contact elements 28 are also arranged in the elastic body 26 . The contact elements 28 are spaced apart from one another in the same way as the contact elements 20 . These contact elements 28 have a somewhat spherical contact surface 30 with which they project somewhat from the end face 32 of the elastic body 26 .

Along the longitudinal axis 34 of the current sensor 12 is formed a continuous longitudinal channel 36, which ends in the region of the end face 18 with a circular-cylindrical indentation 38 in which an RF contact is arranged sunk 40th This RF contact 40 thus represents the one end of an antenna line ending in the current transmitter 12 .

In the current collector 14, a channel 36 is similar channel 46 is arranged to the longitudinal axis 44 of the current collector fourteenth Through the channel 46 there is also an existing antenna line integrated in the feed line 16 , which ends with an RF contact 50 which is placed sunk in a sleeve 48 . The sleeve 48 protrudes forward from the end face 32 of the elastic body 26 . The sleeve 48 and the circular cylindrical indentation 38 are mutually shaped such that the two RF contacts 40 , 50 are conductively connected to one another when the two end faces 18 , 32 are in contact with one another.

The individual electrical contact elements 20 - and the following also applies to the contact elements 28 - are movably embedded in the elastic body 22 in their axial and radial directions. In each case three of the electrical contact elements 20 are arranged in a molded part 54 , which represents a partial area of this elastic body 22 . With 18 contact elements 20, there are six molded parts 54 , each with three contact elements 20 .

Each molded part 54 is largely separated from adjacent molded parts 54 by in the present case material weaknesses representing trenches 52 running around it.

As a result, the molded parts 54 are mutually movable in the elastic body 22 . In addition, the three contact elements 20 of each molded part 54 are in turn mounted movably on all sides in the molded part 54 concerned.

In each molded part 54 , a magnet 56 is embedded before existing. When the two connection parts 12 , 14 are joined together , as will be described in more detail below, magnets 56 of one connection part 12 and the other connection part 14 which meet each other and thereby move their respective molded part 54 with the corresponding three contact elements 20 embedded in them.

Due to the floating position of the three contact elements 20 in each molded part 54 , the force of the magnets 56 means that three contact elements 20 of a molded part 54 of a connection part 12 with corresponding three contact elements 28 of an identical molded part 54 of the elastic body 26 of a counterpart connection part 14 joined to one another in such a way that the contact surfaces 24 , 30 of the relevant contact elements 20 , 28 lie firmly against one another. In this meeting of the two end faces 18 , 32 of the two connecting parts 12 , 14 , their end faces 18 , 32 bulge somewhat, which is due to the mutual deformation possibility of their molded parts 54 with one another and by the additional possibility of deformation of each molded part 54, the desired good contact of the 18 contact elements 20 effected with the 18 contact elements 28 .

The six contact elements 20.1 , 20.2 , 20.3 , 20.4 , 20.5 , 20.6 of two shaped bodies 54.1 , 54.2 are separated by a flexible film with their six conductor tracks 92.1 , 92.2 , 92.3 , 92.4 , 92.5 , 92.6 with the number of conductor tracks 92 corresponding to In this case, six contact points of a line connection point 94 are connected in an electrically conductive manner. In the case of the existing 18 contact elements, three such films 90 are accordingly present, which in turn are connected to three line connection points 94 .

In each line connection point 94 , six contact pins 96 are electrically conductively connected to six contact elements 20 connected via the relevant film 90 .

In FIG. 5 - -. Inner ends of the six conductive tracks fanned 92.1 to 92.6 according to the geometrical arrangement of six contact elements 20 such that these six ends 98 with their existing six holes 100 with the six contact elements 20.1, as Figure 5 illustrates, which are 20.2 , 20.3 , 20.4 , 20.5 , 20.6 can be contacted in an electrically conductive manner. For this purpose, the film 90 with its six holes 100 is pushed onto rear mandrel-like extensions of the relevant six contact elements 20.1 to 20.6 .

The outer six ends 102 of the six conductor tracks 92.1 to 92.6 in FIG. 5 lie close together. A hole 104 is provided in each of these conductor tracks. By turning the film 90 from its flat position shown in FIG. 5 to its folded position shown in FIG. 6, the six holes 104 of the film 90 below (according to FIG. 6) the line connection point 94 can be pushed onto the contact pins 96 already present there , Each of the three existing line connection points 94 is held in a fixed position in the connection element 12 - and the same applies to the connection part 14 - and therefore does not stress the elastic body. The 18 contact elements floating in the elastic body 22 are not impeded in their mobility by the line connection connected to them; the flexible film 90 is sufficiently flexible for this purpose.

For further line connection, a conventional socket plug known in the prior art can be pushed onto the six contact pins 96 of a line connection point 94 . In the case of the 18 contact elements in the present case, all 18 contact elements 20 are thus connected to an example voltage source by means of three such socket plugs (not shown in the drawing). Your common line cable can be routed out of the connection part 12 centrally on the back or laterally out of the connection part 14 as a feed line 16 .

In addition to the holding force caused by the magnets 56 between the two connection parts 12 , 14 and thus also between the respective contact elements 20 , 28, there is also a positive holding force by means of a type of bayonet locking between the two connection parts 12 , 14 .

The current collector 14 has two cantilever parts 62 , 64 on a circumferential recess 60 framing its end face 32 . In the present case, these two cantilever parts lie circumferentially opposite one another at the recess 60 . The cantilever part 62 is larger in cross section than the cantilever part 64 . The cantilever part 62 has an elliptical shape in cross section, while the cantilever part 64 has a circular cylindrical shape.

A circumferential bead 70 protrudes circumferentially from the end face 18 of the current transmitter 12 . In this bead there are circumferentially two groove-like depressions 72 , 74 which are formed on the inside of the bead 70 . The two depressions 72 , 74 end in kinked groove areas, each of which represents an undercut 76 , 78 . The depressions 72 , 74 are of different widths. The recess 72 is the size of the cantilever 62 and the recess 74 adapted to the cantilever 64 . As a result, the cantilever part 62 can only be inserted into the recess 72 and not also into the recess 74 . When the current collector 14 is axially joined to one another on the current transmitter 12 , which is indicated by the curved arrow 80 , the two collar parts 62 , 64 are immersed in the recesses 72 , 74 . By subsequently rotating the current collector 14 clockwise about its longitudinal axis 44 , which is indicated by the arrow 82 , the two collar parts 62 , 64 slide into the two undercuts 76 , 78 . When the cantilever parts 62 , 64 into the recesses 72 , 74 , that is to say when the two connecting parts 12 , 14 approach each other parallel to the longitudinal axis 44 , 34 , their contact elements 20 , 28 are not yet exactly aligned with one another in the axial direction; Corresponding contact elements 20 , 28 are still offset from each other since Lich. The, 28 occurs when encounter the contact members 20, flight 28 inevitable sparks, the elements just before the mutual contact of the contact 20 is in the axially offset An approximation of the contact elements 20, greatly reduced 28th Due to the mutual rotation of the two parts 12 , 14 , in which the cantilever parts 62 , 64 dip into the undercuts 76 , 78 , the contact elements 28 slide from the side, in a plane more or less parallel to the end face 18 , onto the electrical contact elements 20 of the current generator 12 . The contact surface of the contact elements is also kept free of dirt by sliding them side to side.

The mutual contact of the current collector 14 and the current transmitter 12 takes place in this multi-pole connection system by magnetic forces which are generated by magnets 56 located opposite each other in the current transmitter 12 and in the current collector 14 . In addition, the fixation of the current collector 14 to the current transmitter 12 is maintained by the positive locking of the cantilever parts 62 , 64 in the undercuts 76 , 78 . The current collector 14 can therefore not be released by pulling it off the current generator 12 ; to release a rotation of the pantograph 14 is required relative to the current transmitter 12 to unscrew the collar parts 62 , 64 from the undercuts 76 , 78 .

The two connecting parts of an electromechanical connecting device are therefore fixed in their mutual position causing the connection once by the force of magnets 56 , which are placed accordingly in both connecting parts 12 , 14 , and on the other hand by holding forces, which are obtained by a positive connection between the two connecting parts 12 , 14 are generated.

The connecting parts 12 , 14 represent both a low-voltage connection, a higher voltage connection and a high-frequency connection, as is required, for example, in the case of an antenna connection.

In the passenger vehicle 110 shown in FIG. 7, type 12 connecting parts are installed at 11 different locations and function as a kind of socket. Such a connector 12.1 in the engine compartment, two such connectors 12.2 and 12.3 on the left and right in the footwell, such a socket 12.4 in the dashboard console, two such connectors 12.5 and 12.6 in the center console, two other connectors 12.7 and 12.8 in the left and right door trim, another such connector 12.9 in the center armrest and another connector 12.10 in the trunk each firmly attached. In addition, another such connection part is placed in the outside area 12.11 . All of these connection parts 12.1 to 12.11 are connected to the battery of the vehicle. As a result, 18 electrically conductive contact elements for the transmission of electrical currents and / or data streams are present in each of these connection parts 12.1 to 12.11 .

In each of the connecting parts 12.1 to 12.11 of connecting devices 10 functioning as sockets, the connecting parts 14.1 to 14.6 serving as plugs can be connected in an electrically conductive manner, as has been carried out above with the connecting parts 12 , 14 . In FIG. 8, various electric / electronic devices are exemplified, each of which is connected to a terminal member 14 or can be connected. Devices of this type can be, for example, a cell phone 112 , a fax machine 114 , a notebook 116 , a so-called PDA 118 or a (larger) computer 120 or a television set 122 . These various devices 112 through 122 do not regularly require 18 lead wires for power and data transmission. Therefore, of the possible 18 lead wires that can be made available in a plug connector 14 via the 18 contact elements present there, only a subset of lead wires will be connected. Therefore, the cell phone 112 can be connected, for example, to wires other than the PDA 118 or the fax machine 114 to the plug connector 14 . Consequently, each of the plug connection parts 14.1 , 14.2 , 14.3 , 14.4 , 14.5 , 14.6 can be connected to each of the socket connection parts 12.1 to 12.11 , since the plug connection parts 14.1 to 14.6 only in terms of their electrics / electronics, but not in terms of distinguish the outer shape of the contact.
