Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Steckeranordnung zur Zu-und Herausführung vieladriger Kabel zur Verbindung elektrischer Baueinheiten untereinander, insbesondere zur Verbindung der Zentraleinheit einer Datenverarbeitungsanlage mit ihren peripheren Geräten.The invention relates to a plug arrangement for feeding in and out multi-core cables for connecting electrical units to one another, in particular for connecting the central unit of a data processing system to its peripheral devices.

Die Zentraleinheit einer Datenverarbeitungsanlage ist in vielen Fällen mit einer großen Vielzahl von peripheren Geräten zu verbinden, beispielsweise mit einer Tastatur, mit einem Drucker, mit einem Magnetplattenspeicher und dergl., oder aber eine Zentraleinheit muß mit einer großen Vielzahl von Datenendstationen verbunden sein, die beispielsweise aus einer Tastatur und einem Bildschirmgerät bestehen.The central unit of a data processing system is in many cases to be connected to a large number of peripheral devices, for example a keyboard, a printer, a magnetic disk memory and the like, or a central unit must be connected to a large number of data terminals, for example consist of a keyboard and a display device.

Die Erfindung zielt darauf ab, eine möglichst praktisch zu handhabende Steckeranordnung für die Verbindung derartiger Baueinheiten untereinander zu schaffen, derart daß die Steckkontaktverbindungen möglichst dicht beieinander an der Zentraleinheit angebracht werden können. Damit sie möglichst wenig Platz beanspruchen, ist es notwendig, sie so auszubilden, daß sie in Matrixform möglichst eng beieinander liegend montiert werden können. Ferner ist es wünschenswert, die Entkopplung der Leitungen der Zentraleinheit von den Leitungen der peripheren Geräte sowohl als auch die Funkentstörung nicht innerhalb der Gerätegehäuse durchzuführen, sondern sie möglichst mit der Steckanordnung zu verbinden, so daß gleichzeitig mit dem Einstecken und Herausziehen der Steckeranordnung auch die Entkopplung und die Funkentstörung durchgeführt wird. Diese Bauweise setzt es voraus, daß in der Steckeranordnung eine Anzahl von elektrischen Bauteilen vorhanden sein muß, die selbstverständlich auf einer Schaltplatte angeordnet werden. Eine weitere Anwendung der Steckeranordnung ist gegeben beim Anschluß von Peripheriegeräten zum Anpassen der physikalischen Schnittstelle.The invention aims to provide a connector arrangement which is as practical as possible for the connection of such structural units to one another, such that the plug contact connections can be attached as close as possible to one another on the central unit. So that they take up as little space as possible, it is necessary to design them in such a way that they can be mounted as closely as possible in matrix form. Furthermore, it is desirable not to perform the decoupling of the lines of the central unit from the lines of the peripheral devices and the radio interference suppression within the device housing, but rather to connect them to the plug arrangement as possible, so that the decoupling also occurs when the plug arrangement is inserted and removed and the radio interference suppression is carried out. This design assumes that a number of electrical components in the connector assembly must be present, which are of course arranged on a circuit board. Another application of the connector arrangement is given when connecting peripheral devices to adapt the physical interface.

Die Verwendung von Steckeranordnungen, die lediglich durch Klemmwirkung in ihren Steckbuchsen gehalten werden, hat sich in diesem Zusammenhange nicht besonders bewährt, weil bei der Vielzahl der miteinander zu verbindenden Leiter relativ große Stecker entstehen und weil es dann eines relativ großen Kraftaufwandes bedarf, um die Stecker aus ihren klemmenden Steckbuchsen herauszuziehen. Aus diesem Grunde können auch die lediglich mit Klemmwirkung arbeitenden Steckeranordnungen nur mit relativ großem Abstand zueinander in den Montageplatten angeordnet werden, weil es notwendig ist, mit der ganzen Hand zuzufassen, um den Stecker herauszuziehen. Demgegenüber soll durch die erfindungsgemäße Steckeranordnung ein Verbindungsmittel geschaffen werden, welches sich relativ leicht aus der Steckbuchse herausziehen und auch wieder hereinstecken läßt.The use of connector assemblies, which are only held in their sockets by a clamping action, has not proven particularly useful in this context, because the large number of conductors to be connected together results in relatively large connectors and then a relatively large amount of force is required to remove the connectors to pull out of their clamping sockets. For this reason, the connector arrangements, which only work with a clamping effect, can only be arranged at a relatively large distance from one another in the mounting plates, because it is necessary to grip with the whole hand in order to pull out the connector. In contrast, the connector arrangement according to the invention is intended to create a connecting means which can be relatively easily pulled out of the socket and also inserted again.

Die erfindungsgemäße Steckeranordnung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß in einem Steckergehäuse eine die elektrischen Bauteile und die Steckkontakte tragende Schaltplatte mit einem Halteteil verbunden ist, relativ zu welchem das Steckergehäuse entgegen der Kraft einer Feder beweglich ist.The connector arrangement according to the invention is characterized in that in a connector housing a circuit board carrying the electrical components and the plug contacts is connected to a holding part, relative to which the connector housing is movable against the force of a spring.

Gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ist das Steckergehäuse mittels Rastvorsprüngen mit entsprechenden Ausnehmungen in einem fest angeordneten Buchsenteil verrastbar, in dem auch die Gegenkontakte angeordnet sind und bei dem eine Feder das Steckergehäuse in die Entnahmestellung drückt, wenn die Verrastung durch Druck auf das Steckergehäuse gelöst wird.According to a further feature of the invention, the connector housing can be locked by means of locking projections with corresponding recesses in a fixedly arranged socket part, in which the mating contacts are also arranged and in which a spring presses the connector housing into the removal position when the locking is released by pressure on the connector housing .

Bei einer derartigen Ausbildung des Steckergehäuses ist es möglich, durch einfachen Druck auf das Steckergehäuse mit einem Finger dieses zunächst aus seiner Verrastung zu lösen, so daß es dann in die Entnahmestellung gedrückt wird und herausgezogen werden kann, ohne daß hierfür ein besonderer Kraftaufwand erforderlich wäre.With such a design of the connector housing, it is possible to first release the connector housing from its latching by simply pressing on the connector housing with a finger, so that it is then pressed into the removal position and can be pulled out without requiring any special effort.

Durch die relative Verschiebbarkeit der Schaltplatte mit den Kontakten und des Steckergehäuses zueinander wird sichergestellt, daß trotz Verschiebung des Schaltergehäuses zum Lösen der Verrastung die Kontakte problemlos miteinander in Eingriff kommen und auch wieder herausgezogen werden können. Ein weiterer Vorteil der Steckeranordnung ist es, daß in dem als rechteckiges Bauteil vorgesehenen Steckergehäuse ausreichend Platz vorhanden ist für die Unterbringung zusätzlicher Bauteile für die Entkopplung, die Funkentstörung bzw. Schnittstellenanpassung usw., wobei die rechteckige Bauform gleichzeitig den Vorteil hat, eine möglichst enge Aneinanderreihung der Steckeranordnungen in einer Gerätewand zu ermöglichen.The relative displaceability of the circuit board with the contacts and the plug housing relative to one another ensures that, despite the displacement of the switch housing to release the latching, the contacts easily engage with one another and can also be pulled out again. Another advantage of the connector arrangement is that there is sufficient space in the connector housing provided as a rectangular component for accommodating additional components for decoupling, radio interference suppression or interface adaptation, etc., the rectangular design also having the advantage of being as closely aligned as possible to enable the connector arrangements in a device wall.

Dadurch daß das Steckergehäuse aus einem Bodenteil für die Lagerung der Halteplatte und der Schaltplatte und aus einem Deckel besteht, ist es möglich, nicht nur eine Schaltplatte sondern sogar mehrere vorzusehen und das Steckergehäuse dann mit einem höheren Deckel zu verschließen. Hierdurch wird es möglich, zusätzliche elektrische Bauteile unterzubringen und sogar evtl. weitere Funktionen zu verwirklichen, ohne daß sich die Dimensionen der Steckeranordnung wesentlich ändern. Durch die Befestigung der elektrischen Leitung mit dem Halteteil ist sichergestellt, daß ein Zug auf die Leitung nicht zu einer ungewollten Entriegelung führt.Characterized in that the connector housing consists of a bottom part for the storage of the holding plate and the circuit board and a cover, it is possible to provide not only one circuit board but even several and then to close the connector housing with a higher cover. This makes it possible to accommodate additional electrical components and even possibly to realize additional functions without the dimensions of the connector arrangement changing significantly. The attachment of the electrical line with the holding part ensures that a train on the line does not lead to an unwanted unlocking.

An der Rückwand oder einer Seitenwand eines elektrischen Gerätes , welches mit verschiedenen anderen elektrischen Geräten verbunden werden soll, sei beispielsweise eine Halteschiene 1 bzw. ein Rahmen angeordnet, der mit Durchbrüchen 2 versehen ist, in denen die einzelnen Steckeranordnungen montiert werden. Jeder Steckeranordnung ist ein Buchsenteil 3 zugeordnet. In dem Steckbuchsenteil 3 ist das Steckergehäuse 6 verrastet. Das Steckbuchsenteil 3 liegt mit seinen Rändern 4 auf der Halteschiene 1 auf und ist damit verschraubt. Die elektrischen Verbindungskabel 5 sind nach unten herausgeführt.On the rear wall or a side wall of an electrical device which is to be connected to various other electrical devices, for example, a holding rail 1 or a frame is arranged, which is provided with openings 2, in which the individual plug arrangements are mounted. A socket part 3 is assigned to each plug arrangement. The plug housing 6 is locked in the socket part 3. The socket part 3 rests with its edges 4 on the holding rail 1 and is screwed to it. The electrical connection cables 5 are led out downwards.

FIG. 1 zeigt nun in Explosivdarstellung eine erfindungsgemäße Steckeranordnung, die aus einem Steckbuchsenteil 3 und aus einem Steckergehäuse 6 besteht. Das Steckergehäuse 6 umfaßt einerseits ein Bodenteil 7 und andererseits einen Dekkel 8. Das Bodenteil 7 hat an seinem oberen Ende eine Rastnase 9, die in eine Ausnehmung 10 im Buchsenteil 3 einrastet, wenn das Steckergehäuse eingesetzt ist. In dem Steckbuchsenteil 3 ist auch eine Schenkelfeder 11 befestigt, die mit Hilfe von zwei abgebogenen Enden 12 ihrer Schenkel in den rechteckig ausgenommenen Innraum 13 des Steckbuchsenteiles 3 hineinragen. In der Wandung des Steckbuchsenteiles 3 ist eine Steckkontaktanordnung 14 vorgesehen, an die die elektrischen Leitungen herangeführt sind, die aus dem Gerät herauszuführen sind bzw. die in das Gerät eingeführt werden müssen. Am Boden der rechteckigen Ausnehmung 13 des Steckbuchsenteiles 3 ist eine weitere Ausnehmung 15 vorgesehen, die mit einem Rastvorsprung 16 an einem Halteteil 17 zusammenwirkt. Das Halteteil 17 ist in dem Bodenteil 7 des Steckergehäuses 6 einerseits durch eine Ausnehmung im Boden geführt, andererseits durch eine Lasche 18, die am Bodenteil 7 befestigt ist. Eine Stift-Schlitz-Verbindung 19 sichert die seitliche Lage des Halteteiles 17, läßt aber eine relative Bewegung zwischen dem Bodenteil 7 und dem Halteteil 17 zu. Eine Feder 20 ist bei 21 befestigt und drückt über einen Vorsprung 22 auf das Halteteil 17, so daß die Stift-Schlitz-Verbindung 19 sich in der gezeichneten Lage (FIG. 3) befindet. Wenn man von oben auf das Steckergehäuse 6 drückt, kann sich das Gehäuse relativ zu der Halteplatte 7 verschieben. Der Verschiebeweg ergibt sich aus der Differenz zwischen dem Maß a gemäß FIG. 4 und 7 und b gemäß FIG. 5 und 6.FIG. 1 now shows an exploded view of a plug arrangement according to the invention, which consists of a socket part 3 and a plug housing 6. The plug housing 6 comprises a bottom part 7 on the one hand and a cover 8 on the other hand. The bottom part 7 has at its upper end a latching lug 9 which engages in a recess 10 in the socket part 3 when the plug housing is inserted. In the sockets Part 3 is also a leg spring 11 attached, which protrude with the help of two bent ends 12 of their legs in the rectangular recessed interior 13 of the socket part 3. In the wall of the socket part 3, a plug contact arrangement 14 is provided, to which the electrical lines are led, which are to be led out of the device or which have to be inserted into the device. At the bottom of the rectangular recess 13 of the socket part 3, a further recess 15 is provided, which cooperates with a locking projection 16 on a holding part 17. The holding part 17 is guided in the bottom part 7 of the connector housing 6 on the one hand through a recess in the bottom, and on the other hand through a tab 18 which is fastened to the bottom part 7. A pin-slot connection 19 secures the lateral position of the holding part 17, but allows a relative movement between the bottom part 7 and the holding part 17. A spring 20 is fastened at 21 and presses on the holding part 17 via a projection 22, so that the pin-slot connection 19 is in the position shown (FIG. 3). If one presses on the plug housing 6 from above, the housing can move relative to the holding plate 7. The displacement distance results from the difference between the dimension a according to FIG. 4 and 7 and b according to FIG. 5 and 6.

Zur Durchführung der Kontakte 14 ist sowohl das Bodenteil 7 als auch die Halteplatte 17 mit einer entsprechenden öffnung 23, 24 versehen, so daß die Kontakte 25 an der Schaltplatte 26 in die Gegenkontakte 14 eingesteckt werden können durch die Ausschnitte 23 und 24 hindurch. Mittels Schrauben 27 und Löcher 28 können die Halteplatte 17 und die Schaltungsplatte 26 miteinander verschraubt werden, so daß diese beiden Teile dann zusammen relativ zu dem Steckergehäuse 6 beweglich sind.To carry out the contacts 14, both the base part 7 and the holding plate 17 are provided with a corresponding opening 23, 24, so that the contacts 25 on the switching plate 26 can be inserted into the mating contacts 14 through the cutouts 23 and 24. By means of screws 27 and holes 28, the holding plate 17 and the circuit board 26 can be screwed together, so that these two parts can then be moved together relative to the plug housing 6.

Das Steckergehäuse 6 kann mit Hilfe eines Deckels 8 verschlossen werden. Im Falle daß eine Schaltplatte 26 für die Aufnahme aller benötigten Bauteile nicht ausreicht, kann eine zweite Schaltungsplatte 29 Verwendung finden, und in diesem Falle wird auch ein höherer Deckel 8', wie dies in strichpunktierten Linien in FIG. 1 angedeutet ist, verwendet.The connector housing 6 can be closed with the aid of a cover 8. In the event that a circuit board 26 is not sufficient to hold all the required components, a second one Circuit board 29 are used, and in this case, a higher cover 8 ', as shown in dash-dotted lines in FIG. 1 is indicated used.

FIG. 4 zeigt das Steckergehäuse 6 in seiner in das Steckbuchsenteil 3 eingerasteten Position. Die Kontakte 14 und 25 befinden sich im Eingriff miteinander, die Schenkelfeder 11 ist durch das Bodenteil 7 des Steckergehäuses 6 gespannt. Die Nase 9 am Bodenteil 7 ist in die Ausnehmung 10 des Steckbuchsenteiles 3 eingedrungen. Gleichfalls ist der Rastvorsprung 16 an dem Halteteil 17 in die Ausnehmung 15 des Steckbuchsenteiles 3 eingerastet. Das Halteteil 17 ist noch mit einem Anschlag 30 versehen, der sich in dem Steckbuchsenteil 3 abstützt.FIG. 4 shows the plug housing 6 in its position locked in the socket part 3. The contacts 14 and 25 are in engagement with each other, the leg spring 11 is tensioned by the bottom part 7 of the connector housing 6. The nose 9 on the bottom part 7 has penetrated into the recess 10 of the socket part 3. Likewise, the locking projection 16 is engaged on the holding part 17 in the recess 15 of the socket part 3. The holding part 17 is also provided with a stop 30, which is supported in the socket part 3.

Drückt man nun, wie die FIG. 5 zeigt, auf die obere Kante des Steckergehäuses 6, dann verschiebt sich das Gehäuse relativ zu der Halteplatte 17 und der Schaltplatte 26 um die Differenz zwischen dem Maß a und dem Maß b, die Nase 9 an dem Steckergehäuse 6 kommt außer Eingriff mit der Ausnehmung 10, was durch die abgebogenen Enden 12 der Schenkelfeder 11 noch unterstützt wird, so daß das Steckerteil 6 zunächst die Stellung gemäß FIG. 5 und dann die Stellung gemäß FIG. 6 einnimmt, in der nun das Steckergehäuse 6 leicht entnommen werden kann, indem man es etwas anhebt, so daß der Rastvorsprung 16 und die Ausnehmung 15 außer Eingriff miteinander kommen. Wie FIG. 5 erkennen läßt, bleibt während des-Verschiebens des Steckergehäuses 6 aus der Stellung gemäß FIG. 4 in die Stellung gemäß FIG. 5 die Kontaktanordnung 14, 25 noch völlig miteinander in Eingriff. Lediglich wenn dann das Steckerteil 6 nach vorne herauskippt, wird die elektrische Verbindung unterbrochen.Now press how the FIG. 5 shows, on the upper edge of the connector housing 6, then the housing moves relative to the holding plate 17 and the switching plate 26 by the difference between the dimension a and the dimension b, the nose 9 on the connector housing 6 comes out of engagement with the recess 10, which is further supported by the bent ends 12 of the leg spring 11, so that the plug part 6 initially the position shown in FIG. 5 and then the position shown in FIG. 6 occupies, in which the connector housing 6 can now be easily removed by lifting it up slightly so that the locking projection 16 and the recess 15 come out of engagement with one another. As FIG. 5 reveals remains during the displacement of the connector housing 6 from the position shown in FIG. 4 in the position shown in FIG. 5, the contact arrangement 14, 25 is still fully engaged. The electrical connection is only interrupted when the plug part 6 then tilts forward.

Das Einsetzen des Steckers ergibt sich aus FIG. 7. Man führt zunächst den Rastvorsprung 16 in die Ausnehmung 15 im Buchsenteil ein und drückt dann leicht auf das Steckergehäuse 6, wobei wiederum eine Verschiebung des Gehäuses relativ zu der Kontaktanordnung 14, 25 erfolgt, so daß das Ineingriffgehen der beiden Kontaktanordnungen keinerlei Schwierigkeiten bereitet. Lediglich durch leichten Druck mit einem Finger auf das Steckergehäuse 6 kann die Anordnung wieder in den betriebsbereiten Zustand versetzt werden, der sich aus FIG. 4 ergibt.The insertion of the plug results from FIG. 7. You first insert the locking projection 16 into the recess 15 in the socket part and then press lightly on the connector housing 6, again shifting the housing relative to the Contact arrangement 14, 25 takes place, so that the engagement of the two contact arrangements presents no difficulties. Merely by light pressure with a finger on the connector housing 6, the arrangement can be returned to the operational state, which can be seen in FIG. 4 results.

Es sei noch darauf hingewiesen, daß die Nase 9 am Steckergehäuse 6 abegrundet ist, wodurch das Ineingriffbringen des Steckergehäuses 6 mit der Steckbuchse 3 erleichtert wird.It should also be pointed out that the lug 9 is rounded off on the plug housing 6, whereby the engagement of the plug housing 6 with the socket 3 is facilitated.
