Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical underwater device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the object of the invention is to better protect electrical water devices against leaks and their consequences in a simple and fail-safe manner.
  • the underwater device has a second connection chamber, which is sealed off on all sides and has electrical feedthroughs, since such underwater devices are typically designed so that several cables can be connected so that an underwater device also takes over the function of a junction box. If the incoming cable is sealed off from the continuing cable in such a way that the two are only electrically connected to one another through a wall, the propagation of damage along a cable is prevented. Water penetrating from another leaky underwater device, from a damaged cable point or also from the seal of the supplied cable cannot get to the further cable and damage the next connected device.
  • Preventing primary damage is at least as important for operational safety as changing a secondary damage.
  • an embodiment according to the characterizing part of claim 5 is provided in an electrical underwater device according to the preamble of claim 5.
  • This configuration makes it possible, in particular in the case of actuating elements to be loosened or opened occasionally, to secure the actual actuating area against any involuntary or critical opening movement.
  • the pawl to be provided for latching the adjustment range can be made in one piece in a particularly simple and elegant manner with one or the other of the two parts which are movable relative to one another, i.e. So form with the housing or tube if the associated part is designed as an injection molded plastic part.
  • the underwater light illustrated as a whole in FIGS. 1 and 2 and designated 1 comprises a housing 2, a headlight tube 3, a windshield clamping ring 4, a connection chamber cover 5 and two (same) pinch nuts 6 and 7, all of these parts are designed as plastic injection molded parts.
  • a lamp 8 is mounted in the housing with the aid of a socket 9, while a reflector 10 is fixed to the tube 3 behind a front pane 11.
  • the tube 3 is helically adjustable relative to the housing 2, which will be discussed in more detail later.
  • the sealing of a functional chamber 12 enclosed by housing 2, tube 3 and windshield 11 is achieved by a flat ring seal 13 between windshield 11 and tube 3 and by a double O-ring seal 14, 15.
  • a connection chamber 16 is formed on the underside of the housing, into which a cable can be inserted through a cable bushing 17. To the cable entry, 17 also includes a pinch seal 19.
  • An opposite cable bushing 20 differs from the cable bushing 17 in that it is closed by a plug 21 which, like the pinch seal 19, is formed from an elastomeric material.
  • the plug can be exchanged for a second pinch seal to connect a second (continuing) cable.
  • the connection chamber cover is sealed off from the housing 2 by a washer seal 22, a central cover screw 33 ensuring the fit and pressure.
  • connection chamber 16 is sealed off from the functional chamber 12 by a wall 24 in order to exclude the passage of water from the functional chamber 12 into the connecting chamber 16 even if the functional chamber in the event of breakage or leakage of the seals, mechanical damage or material cracks as a result of the high thermal load should leak.
  • This allows a particularly tricky sequence of leaks in underwater devices to be avoided, in which water within a cable is passed on to other underwater devices, such as lamps, motors, power sources and the like, as if through a hose.
  • it can also prevent the reverse water transfer from the connection chamber into the functional chamber if, for example, water penetrates into the connection chamber due to damage to the cable or water ingress in other underwater devices connected directly or indirectly via cable or also due to a defect in the cable duct.
  • connection chamber 16 In the embodiment shown, only two screw terminals are provided, which, if desired, also enable the connection of a further cable through the cable bushing 20.
  • a very advantageous and only slightly more complex modification provides for dividing the connection chamber 16 into two chambers, so that a connection chamber assigned to the cable bushing 17 and a connection chamber assigned to the cable bushing 20 would result, with an additional partition wall in FIG screw socket 31 provided there for receiving the cover screw 23 would extend. Then, however, each of the connection chambers thus formed would have to be equipped with screw terminals, which would either have to be connected through the additional partition wall or, in pairs on the lamp base, connected to one another.
  • FIGS. 3, 4 and 5 illustrate the interaction of housing 2 and tube 3, which should be as easy to assemble and rotatable against each other during operation to change the focus, reliably precluding the tube 3 and housing 2 from detaching from each other or even just that Allow O-ring seals 14, 15 to disengage.
  • the housing 2 is shown in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5 in three views, the assignment of which to one another at first glance can be found on the basis of the already mentioned threaded connector 18, an opposite corresponding threaded connector 32 and an integrally molded mounting eyelet 33.
  • the housing 2 forms a cylindrical surface 34 for receiving the tube 3, into which two circumferential sealing grooves 35, 36 for receiving the O-rings 14, 15 are embedded.
  • a guide groove 37 is embedded in the end cylinder surface 34, which rises obliquely on one side (see FIG. 4) and thereby reproduces the course of a movement thread over approximately half a revolution.
  • the course of the guide groove 37 is free of gradients and merges into an insertion groove 38 in a T-shaped section.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 are expediently to be taken into account, in which the housing and the tube 3 which can be plugged onto it are shown in plan view.
  • the tube 3 has an inner cylindrical surface 39 which fits on the outer cylindrical surface 34 and the housing 2 and opposite this inner cylindrical surface 39 protrudes a guide cam 40 which fits when inserted into the insertion groove 38 and, since it is substantially flat tangentially stretched , can also slide further along the guide groove 37.
  • the first movement section for assembly creating an essentially axial displacement of the cylinder surfaces beyond the engagement of the seal
  • the second movement section performs the rotary function - here with axial displacement to focus.
  • a succession of two movement sections of this type could also be created in a continuous thread guide, in which a first section leads to a secure sealing section and a second movement section offers the actual function.
  • the present embodiment has the advantage that the housing 2 and the tube 3 do not disengage by simply turning.
  • the movement thread leads, on the one hand, precisely with the displacement of the tube 3 away from the housing 2 to an end stop 41.
  • the guide groove 37 ends in a dead section 42, so that there is no inadvertent detachment of the parts from one another in a continuous movement.
  • the pawl 43 is formed at the end of a spring tongue 44 formed integrally with the housing part 2, the spring tongue 44 running in a semicircle near the cylinder surface 34.
  • the locking pawl 43 is pushed back inwards when it is plugged together and, when turned, snaps against an undercut locking shoulder 45 on the inner cylindrical surface 39 of the tube 3 after the cam 40 has been pressed into the guide groove 37.
  • the locking shoulder 45 limits a groove 46 for receiving the pawl 43.
  • the pawl 43 does not depend on its angular position with respect to the insertion groove 38 and the guide groove 37.
  • the position of the locking shoulder 45 is by no means fixed in the angular position relative to the guide cam 40. It should be determined, however, that the angular position at which the pawl 43 bears against the locking shoulder 45 finds the locking cam 40 in the guide groove 37 where a stop for the insertion groove 38 is to be formed for the rotational movement.
  • FIG. 1 the extended position of the tube can be seen, in which the guide cam 40 abuts against the stop end 41 of the guide groove 37, while in Fig. 2 (which does not exactly represent the section along line II-II in Fig. 1) inserted position of the tube 3 shows, in which the pawl 43 rests against the locking shoulder 45.
  • the spring arm 44 of the pawl 43 is subjected to pressure when it stops on the locking shoulder 45.
  • the spring arm 44 rests against the inner cylindrical surface 39 of the tube 3 and is supported by the latter. This promotes operational safety even when used improperly.
  • the tube can thus engage in the housing and form an outer cylindrical surface and the pawl can be mounted on the tube without any other function having to result.
  • the measures described are also not limited to underwater lights, but a sealed-off connection chamber and an actuating element secured against loosening can be used with many underwater devices.
