Description

Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Stromverbinder gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a power connector according to the Preamble of claim 1.

Stromverbinder dieser Art werden insbesondere im Kraftfahrzeugbau zur Herstellung einer elektrisch leitenden Verbindung zwischen den An­ schlüssen eines Lenkrad und Lenksäule angeordneten Drehleitungsverbin­ ders eingesetzt. Hierbei bereiten insbesondere solche Verbindungen große Probleme, bei denen eine Mehrzahl von Funktionen, beispielsweise neben dem Signalhorn der Fahrtrichtungsanzeiger und der Scheibenwischer oder dergl. vom Lenkrad aus gesteuert werden sollen und außerdem eine Gassack-Aufprall-Schutzeinrichtung installiert ist. Darüberhinaus ist es aus Gründen der Erhöhung der Fahrsicherheit das Bestreben, die im Fahrzeug erforderlichen Schaltfunktionen soweit wie möglich vom Armatu­ renbrett in das Lenkrad zu verlegen. Es ist für diesen Zweck eine große Zahl von Verbindungen erforderlich, über die gegebenenfalls - wie etwa für Heizungen - auch hohe Leistungen übertragen werden müssen. Ein diesen Anforderungen genügender Leitungsverbinder ist bisher nicht bekannt.Current connectors of this type are used in particular in motor vehicle construction to establish an electrically conductive connection between the An conclude a steering wheel and steering column arranged three-line connection otherwise used. Such connections are particularly useful here big problems where a variety of functions, for example next to the signal horn, the direction indicators and the wipers or the like. To be controlled from the steering wheel and also one Airbag impact protection device is installed. Beyond that there is the endeavor to increase driving safety, which in the Switch functions required by the vehicle as far as possible from the Armatu to place the dashboard in the steering wheel. It's a big one for this purpose Number of connections required over which, if necessary - such as for heaters - high power must also be transferred. A Cable connectors that meet these requirements are not yet available known.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt demgemäß die Schaffung eines Stromleitungsverbinders zugrunde, das die Schaltung einer beliebigen Vielzahl von Funktionen unterschiedlicher Leistung vom Lenkrad aus ermöglicht.Accordingly, the present invention is to provide a Power line connector underlying the circuit of any  Variety of functions of different performance from the steering wheel enables.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einem Stromleitungsverbinder mit den im Pa­ tentanspruch wiedergegebenen Merkmalen gelöst.This task is carried out with a power line connector with the Pa Characteristics reproduced solved.

Durch die Erfindung ist ein Stromleitungsverbinder geschaffen, der einerseits ungeachtet der beliebigen Erhöhung der Zahl der beschalt­ baren Leiterdrähte eine geringe Bauhöhe aufweist und damit den Einbau in Lenkräder herkömmlicher Bauhöhe erlaubt, andererseits jedoch die für die Übertragung größerer elektrischer Leistungen erforderliche Ver­ größerung des leitenden Querschnittes auf einfache Weise dadurch ermög­ licht, daß eine entsprechende Zahl von Leiterdrähten zu einem (gemeinsamen) Leiter verbunden werden. Es genügt zu diesem Zweck die Zusammenschaltung der Enden der betreffenden Leiterdrähte in einem gemeinsamen Steckerstift. Es bedarf daher auch nicht der Vergrößerung des Leiterquerschnittes einzelner oder aller Leiterdrähte des Leiterbandes.The invention provides a power line connector that on the one hand regardless of any increase in the number of wired baren wire has a low overall height and thus the installation allowed in steering wheels of conventional height, but on the other hand those for the transmission of larger electrical powers required Ver Enlargement of the conductive cross section in a simple way light that a corresponding number of conductor wires to one (common) conductors are connected. For this purpose, the Interconnection of the ends of the relevant conductor wires in one common connector pin. It is therefore not necessary to enlarge it the conductor cross section of individual or all conductor wires of the Ladder band.

Weitere Einzelheiten der Erfindung werden nachstehend anhand der beigefügten Zeichnung erläutert. Es zeigenFurther details of the invention are described below with reference to the attached drawing explained. Show it

Der in der Zeichnung wiedergegebene Stromverbinder für eine mehrpolige in einem Gehäuse, beispielsweise in einem Stator 1 einer elektrischen Drehverbindung geführte Leitung 3 stellt eine Verbindung zwischen zwei im Stator 1 bzw. Rotor angeordneten Anschlüssen her, die mittels jeweils einer äußeren Leitung mit einer Stromquelle bzw. einem Verbraucher verbunden sind. Der Verbinder besteht - siehe insbesondere die Fig. 2 und 3 - aus einerseits einer Buchse 4, in der Rohrstifte 6 frei gehalten sind, die ihrerseits Endstücke jeweils eines Leiterdrahtes 5 bilden. Die Buchse dient der Aufnahme eines Steckers in Form eines Gehäuses 8 mit einem dem Innenmaß der Buchse 4 entspre­ chenden Außenmaß, in dem paßgerecht in die Rohrstifte 6 einschiebbare, jeweils mit einem Leiterdraht verbindbare Steckstifte 10 gehalten sind.The current connector shown in the drawing for a multi-pole line 3 guided in a housing, for example in a stator 1 of an electrical rotary connection, establishes a connection between two connections arranged in the stator 1 or rotor, which are connected to a current source or are connected to a consumer. The connector - see in particular FIGS. 2 and 3 - consists on the one hand of a socket 4 , in which tubular pins 6 are kept free, which in turn form end pieces of a conductor wire 5 . The socket is used to hold a plug in the form of a housing 8 with an internal dimension of the socket 4 corre sponding outer dimension in which fit into the tubular pins 6 insertable, each connectable with a conductor wire pins 10 are held.

Die Leiterdrähte sind in dem Flachband in mehreren parallelen Lagen 7, angeordnet und an ihren Enden mit den in einer entsprechenden Anordnung in der Buchse 4 angeordneten Steckerstiften verbunden.The conductor wires are arranged in the flat strip in a plurality of parallel layers 7 and are connected at their ends to the plug pins arranged in a corresponding arrangement in the socket 4 .

Anstelle der körperlichen Zusammenfassung von mehreren parallelen Reihen von Leiterdrähten in einem gemeinsamen Flachband können auch zwei oder mehrere einzelne Flachbänder im Stator 1 verlegt werden, die jedes für sich aufgrund ihrer geringeren Dicke eine größere Flexibilität als ein zu einer Einheit verbundenes Leiterband besitzen. Es kann auf dieses Weise ohne Vergrößerung der Bauhöhe des Stators die Zahl der vom Lenkrad aus schaltbaren Funktionen beliebig vergrößert werden, wobei auch die Schaltung von Funktionen größerer Leistungen ohne Vergrößerung des Querschnittes des einzelnen Leiterdrahtes möglich wird, dadurch, daß in der in Fig. 2 angedeuteten Weise zwei oder mehrere Leiterdrähte in einem Steckerstift zusammengefaßt werden.Instead of the physical combination of several parallel rows of conductor wires in a common flat strip, two or more individual flat strips can also be laid in the stator 1 , each of which, because of its smaller thickness, has greater flexibility than a conductor strip connected to form a unit. In this way, the number of functions that can be switched from the steering wheel can be increased as desired without increasing the overall height of the stator, and it is also possible to switch functions of larger powers without increasing the cross section of the individual conductor wire, in that in FIG. 2 indicated way two or more conductor wires are combined in a connector pin.

Fig. 2 zeigt eine Stromleitungsverbindung mit geradlinig aus der Buchse 4 geführtem Gehäuse 8 und insgesamt acht Leiterdrähten 5, die in beliebiger Weise verwendbar sind, beispielsweise für insgesamt sechs Funktionen, darunter zwei mit doppelt großem Leiterquerschnitt. In Fig. 3 ist der entsprechende Stromleitungsverbinder mit einem einen Winkelstecker 10 aufweisenden Zwillings-Leiterband dargestellt. Fig. 2 shows a power line connection with a straight out of the socket 4 housing 8 and a total of eight conductor wires 5 , which can be used in any manner, for example for a total of six functions, including two with double cross-section. In Fig. 3, the corresponding power line connector is shown with a twin conductor strip having an angle connector 10 .
