Abstract

In a multipole connection between a central electronic apparatus and a plurality of peripheral apparatuses, the connection parts on the cable side are designed such that they could be introduced into the connection which is mounted in a fixed manner on the central apparatus in a positively locking manner and such that they cannot be confused, and, according to Fig. 2, complement one another to form the overall contour of the connection. <IMAGE>

Description

Elektronische Geräte sind häufig mit mehrpoligen Steckverbindungen ausgestattet. Fernsehempfänger sind beispielsweise mit einer 20-poligen Steckverbindung, der sogenannten Scart- oder Euro-AV-Steckverbindung ausgestattet. Über diese Steckverbindung werden Peripheriegeräte, wie Videorecorder oder Satellitenempfänger, mit dem Fernsehgerät verbunden. Zur Vermeidung einer falschen Kontaktierung ist diese Steckverbindung in bekannter Weise durch eine besondere äußere Kontur so ausgebildet, daß die Steckverbindung nur in einer bestimmten räumlichen Zuordnung von Stecker- und Buchsenteil herstellbar ist. Aus der Fig. 1 ist der Aufbau dieser bekannten Steckverbindung ersichtlich. Sollen mehrere Peripheriegeräte an die geräteseitige Steckverbindung angeschlossen werden, dann ergeben sich Schwierigkeiten. Es sind dann entweder mehrere parallelgeschaltete geräteseitige Teile der Steckverbindung oder ein zusätzlicher Adapter mit einem Eingang und mehreren Ausgängen erforderlich.Electronic devices are often equipped with multi-pin plug connections. For example, television receivers are equipped with a 20-pin connector, the so-called Scart or Euro-AV connector. Peripheral devices, such as video recorders or satellite receivers, are connected to the television via this plug connection. In order to avoid incorrect contacting, this plug-in connection is designed in a known manner by means of a special outer contour such that the plug-in connection can only be produced in a specific spatial assignment of the plug and socket part. 1 shows the structure of this known plug connection. Difficulties arise if several peripheral devices are to be connected to the device-side plug connection. Either several parallel parts of the connector on the device side or an additional adapter with one input and several outputs are then required.

Aus EP-A-0 279 405 ist ein Steckverbinder, bestehend aus einem Buchsenteil und einem mehrteilig ausgebildeten kabelseitigen Teil bekannt. Das Buchsenteil ist dabei mit seinen Durchbrüchen über aus der Geräterückwand ragende Stifte oder Messer geschoben. Es besteht aus einer Platte mit den erwähnten Durchbrüchen und zwei sich an seinen Längsseiten erstreckenden Seitenwänden. Die Innenseiten der Seitenwände weisen Rippen und Nuten auf, die dazu dienen, zum einen das kabelseitige Teil bildende Stecker mit den mit den Seitenwänden korrespondierenden Seitenflächen in das Buchsenteil einzustecken und zum anderen Hakenteile aufzunehmen zur Befestigung von einzusteckenden Steckern. Durch die Gestaltung der Seitenwände des Buchsenteils mit Nuten ist es möglich, eine Codierung der Steckverbindung durchzuführen. Werden beispielsweise Nuten im Buchsenteil durch von Steckern abgebrochene Zinken gefüllt, so ist nur ein Einstecken eines Steckers möglich, dessen mit den gefüllten Nuten im Buchsenteil korrespondierende Zinken entfernt sind. Ebenso wird durch das mit Nuten versehene Hakenteil die jeweilige Drehlage eines Steckers bezüglich des Buchsenteils festgelegt. Die Unverwechselbarkeit der Stecker wird somit gewährleistet. Die Steckverbindung ist zwar vielseitig variierbar, aber auch, da aus sehr vielen Einzelteilen bestehend, sehr aufwendig aufgebaut.From EP-A-0 279 405 a connector consisting of a socket part and a multi-part cable-side part is known. The socket part with its openings is pushed over pins or knives protruding from the rear wall of the device. It consists of a plate with the openings mentioned and two side walls extending along its long sides. The inner sides of the side walls have ribs and grooves which serve, on the one hand, to insert the plug forming the cable-side part with the side surfaces corresponding to the side walls into the socket part and, on the other hand, to accommodate hook parts for fastening plugs to be inserted. By designing the side walls of the socket part with grooves, it is possible to code the plug connection. If, for example, grooves in the socket part are filled by prongs broken off by plugs, it is only possible to insert a plug whose prongs corresponding to the filled grooves in the socket part have been removed. Likewise, the respective rotational position of a plug with respect to the socket part is determined by the grooved hook part. The unmistakability of the connector is guaranteed. The plug-in connection can be varied in many ways, but also, because it consists of a large number of individual parts, is very complex.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine alternative Lösung infac zu schaffen.The object of the invention is to provide an alternative solution infac.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Zweckmäßige Ausführungen sind in den Unteransprüchen aufgezeigt.This object is solved by the features of claim 1. Appropriate designs are shown in the subclaims.

Die Erfindung wird durch die Fig. 2 verdeutlicht.The invention is illustrated by FIG. 2.

Bei den kabelseitigen Steckverbindungsteilen sind Außenkonturen vorgesehen, die sich formschlüssig aneinander fügen, womit die Sicherheit gegenüber Verwechslung gewährleistet wird. Zur Erhöhung der Sicherheit sind an der Außenkontur der Steckverbindung Nuten und Federn angebracht, so daß ein falsches Einstecken der kabelseitigen Steckverbindungsteile verhindert wird. Darüberhinaus ist es auch möglich, zwischen den Kontakten in bekannter Weise Kodierungsstifte anzubringen.In the case of the cable-side plug-in connection parts, outer contours are provided which fit together in a form-fitting manner, thus ensuring security against confusion. To increase security, grooves and tongues are attached to the outer contour of the plug connection, so that incorrect insertion of the cable-side plug connection parts is prevented. In addition, it is also possible to attach coding pins between the contacts in a known manner.

Claims (3)

  1. Multipole connector on an electronic device, it being the case that a socket part or a plug part is permanently mounted on the device and the part of the connector on the cable side is constructed in a plurality of parts and the connector is produced from a plurality of connector parts mounted on different cables, characterised in that the external contour of the socket part or plug part and of the part on the cable side corresponds to a SCART connector and the connector parts on the cable side in each case have mutually differing contours deviating from a rectangle in such a way that in the plug-in state the connector parts uniquely fill up in a form-locking fashion the entire contour of the socket part or plug part.
  2. Multipole connector according to Claim 1, characterised in that the contours of the connector parts on the cable side are chosen such that the introduction of each connector part is possible only in a specific position relative to the part of the connector on the device side.
  3. Multipole connector according to Claim 2, characterised in that grooves and tongues are provided on the external contour of the connector.
