Definitions

  • the invention relates to an arrangement of a plug connection on a measuring device, the back of which is closed by a cover which has an opening allowing the connection of device-side contact elements with at least one external plug.
  • a large number of measuring and counting devices is designed in such a way that the various functional assemblies are assigned to a supporting housing segment or a supporting frame and that a cover, for example a hood-like housing component, which closes the rear of the housing segment is provided .
  • a cover for example a hood-like housing component, which closes the rear of the housing segment.
  • miniaturization means reducing the component wall thickness and thus the strength of the components, thus increasing, for example, the risk of the contact elements on the device being bent during assembly of the plug connection, so that miniaturization must generally result in an increase in the production quality by narrowing the tolerance ranges of the components involved.
  • the present invention was therefore based on the object of designing and arranging a plug connection for the measuring device architecture described in such a way that the manufacturing and assembly outlay is largely reduced compared to the last-mentioned known solution and that it can be implemented with a significantly higher accuracy in comparison with the conventional first-mentioned solution is and is therefore suitable for miniaturization as well as for mechanical assembly.
  • the solution to this problem provides that the device-side contact elements are arranged directly on a circuit board fastened in the measuring device, that a plug base assigned to all contact elements is provided, in which a socket with the contact elements assigned openings and only a single connecting position of the plug and plug base allowing wall contours is formed and that the plug base can be connected to the printed circuit board on the one hand, and on the other hand is designed in such a way that there is a positive assignment with respect to the edge of the opening in the cover.
  • a preferred embodiment is characterized in that several sockets with unevenly shaped wall contours are formed in the plug base and that on the one hand a positioning pin, several spacing lugs and at least two bolts, on the other hand a circumferential one, together with one in a suitable manner at the opening of the cover formed edge of a labyrinth seal forming depression are formed.
  • the connector base assigned directly to the contact elements constitutes a housing component of the measuring device, in which, with mutual play around the edges of the connector base and the opening assigned to it in the cover, a tolerance-compensating, positive connection with the rear cover of the measuring device is provided is.
  • the connector base in particular in its design with several sockets, can not only be produced easily and with high accuracy, but can also be assembled in a simple, ultimately mechanical manner by plugging and latching on the printed circuit board and thus on the printed circuit board a contact or pin base forming a structural unit can be produced, in which the contact elements are largely protected and the soldered connections of the contact elements on the printed circuit board are relieved by a holding plane in the plug base located as far as possible from the printed circuit board.
  • the functional unit created can already be connected in the preassembly stage to the commercially available connector types assigned to the finished measuring device and can thus be handled and checked in an installation-identical state independently of the measuring device.
  • 1 denotes a printed circuit board which is equipped with a larger number of contact elements designed as contact tongues - one is designated by 2. More specifically, there are four groups of contact elements 2 provided according to the commercially available eight-pin socket plugs assigned to the measuring device, one of which is shown and designated 3, but only the contact elements 2 are set which are actually required in accordance with the intended device design. For the sake of completeness, it should be mentioned that, in order to achieve production optimization, which also prevents riveting of angled contact tongues with the printed circuit board 1 due to the limited packing density, the contact tongues 2 together with electrical components, not shown, are machined by "shooting" into the printed circuit board 1 assembled and contacted with the assigned conductor tracks.
  • This risk is according to the invention thereby reduces an extent that the contact tongue coulter an all intended S is assigned teckern.3 common connector base 4, in such a way that it is attached directly to the circuit board 1.
  • a positioning pin 5, to which a corresponding hole 6 is assigned in the printed circuit board 1, and two pawls 7 and 8, which engage behind the printed circuit board 1 through suitable openings 9 and 10, are provided as fastening means.
  • sockets 18, 19, 2 0 , 21 are formed in the plug base 4, the walls of which, according to the unspecified designs on the housings of the plugs 3, respectively have guide or positioning grooves 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26 exhibit.
  • the grooves 26, 27, 28, 29 formed on the narrow sides of the sockets 18, 19, 2o and 21 are arranged unevenly in their position relative to the adjacent socket walls in order to provide a clear assignment of connector 3 and the respective socket 18, 19, 2o and 21 to achieve.
  • Openings 3o, 31, 32 and 33 are used to insert the latches 34 which are formed like a rocker on the plugs 3 and which, when the plugs 3 are inserted into the respective sockets 18, 19, 2o and 21, snap into suitable undercuts formed in the plug base 4 -are. Except a circumferential recess 35 is formed on the plug base 4 with an edge 36 delimiting it. As a labyrinth-forming counterform to this, an edge 38 delimiting the opening 38 and a circumferential rib 40 are formed on the cover 37 of the measuring device, which has an opening 38 assigned to the plug base 4, and at a substantially constant distance from the edge 39.
  • the two flaps 42 and 43 which are articulated by means of a film hinge 41 to the housing of the plug 3, carry inwardly facing cams which, when the flaps 42 and 43 are locked into the housing, are one in the conductor channels designated with 44 - intervene and hold in place in the plug inserted, provided with contact sockets line ends, so that the line ends in the plug housing are tilted and thus held adaptable.
  • the measuring device architecture shown in FIG. 2 shows, for example, a load-bearing housing component 45, with which a mounting plate 46, which is not shown for the sake of simplicity, and the circuit board 1, also shown free of components, are firmly connected using a plurality of housing-fixed threaded bolts 47 and spacer sleeves 48 and nuts 49 assigned to them.
  • four plugs 3 are used in the plug-in socket 4, which is latched to the circuit board 1, one of which, for example, the power supply lines, other different measured value inputs and outputs and lines for signals dependent on the respective measured value and a z.
  • a comb-like hood 50 fastened and sealable to the cover 37 connected to the supporting housing component 45 serves on the one hand for the plugs 3 as access protection and on the other hand for bundling the lines.
  • 51 and 52 are in Connector 3 designated contact sockets, while 53 represents a suitable sealing material inserted into the form fit between cover 37 and connector base 4.
