Definitions

  • the invention relates to a multi-pole electrical coupling device with a male connector and female connector accommodated in a housing, in which the female connector housing and the male connector housing are connected to one another by a releasable joint in the region of one end and for contacting male and female connectors by means of pins guided in the slots of the male connector housing Female connector housing are pressed together.
  • this object is achieved in that the female connector housing is pivotally held on the female connector housing by means of a pin which engages in groove-shaped receptacles of the male connector housing, in that a slide is guided in a longitudinally movable manner on the female connector housing and is fixed on both sides of sliding blocks at the end facing away from the joint carries and that are arranged in the two longitudinal walls of the male connector housing guide grooves into or out of which the sliding blocks can be inserted or pushed out by the slide for pressing or releasing movements of the female connector housing.
  • the coupling device formed in this way when the socket strip housing is articulated, only simple, space-saving, longitudinal movements of the slide to make contact with the knife and socket strips are required.
  • the female connector housing Due to the interaction of sliding blocks and sliding slots, the female connector housing is applied to the male connector housing with slight forces in one direction of movement of the slide and pressed and lifted from the male connector in the other direction of movement. At the same time, there is no need to pivot levers and swivel areas for them.
  • the link grooves near the ends facing away from the insertion ends for the link blocks serve as latching recesses for the link blocks have and that the sliding blocks in the widenings are elastically fixable in the locking recesses by the bias of a sealing body arranged in the plane of separation of socket strips and male connector housings. Unintentional decoupling can thus be prevented.
  • the slide is hood-shaped with a substantially U-shaped cross section transverse to the direction of displacement thereof.
  • the slide has guide strips on the inside of the legs, which engage in the longitudinal grooves of the socket strip housing in a displaceable manner.
  • the slide can be pushed onto the socket strip housing from one side as well as from the other side, which is advantageous for the optional removal of the electrical conductors connected to the sockets to one side or the other.
  • the slide and the socket strip housing are fixed so that they can be released from one another by means of catch elements.
  • the slide is advantageously locked in the position in which the sliding blocks face the insertion openings of the sliding slots.
  • the male connector housing or the like extends between the male connector longitudinal walls. with a number of coding slots formed side by side and that the female connector housing is provided with coding lugs corresponding to the coding slots.
  • the web having the coding slots can be on the end of the male connector housing facing the link grooves be arranged.
  • the proposed coding or arrangement of the slots has the additional advantage that, if the coding is unsuitable, movements of the slider on the socket strip housing are impossible and the user is thus shown beforehand that couplings of the socket strip and male connector cannot be carried out.
  • housings for the socket strip and the male header are each made of any suitable material, e.g. a plastic or metallic material can be formed.
  • 1 denotes a male connector housing which, as can be seen in FIGS. 5, 6 and 9, receives a number of male contacts 2.
  • a number, for example 37 socket contacts 3 (FIGS. 12, 19, 20) can be coupled to the knife contacts 2 and are accommodated in a socket strip housing 4 (FIG. 11).
  • the male connector housing 1 and the female connector housing 4 are preferably formed by molded parts made of a plastic.
  • the socket strip housing 4 has, in the region of an end on the longitudinal sides, pins 5 with pressure strips 6 which engage in recesses 7 in the male connector housing 1 to form a common joint 8.
  • the socket strip housing 4 is held in a pivotable manner on the male connector housing 1 by the joint 8, the pressure strips 6 supporting the insertion and retention of the pins 5 in the recesses 7.
  • the socket strip housing 4 also has longitudinal grooves 9, in which engages a slide 10 which can be moved longitudinally on the socket strip housing 4 and has strip-shaped projections 11.
  • the slide 10 can be locked by means of locking grooves 12 (FIG. 16) on locking projections 13 (FIG. 11) of the socket strip housing 4.
  • the slide 10 (FIGS. 15, 17) is formed by a molded part with an essentially U-shaped cross section and provided with gripping surfaces 18 on the outside.
  • pins 14 are arranged as sliding blocks, which can be brought into effect with sliding grooves 15 in the side walls 1 'of the male connector housing 1.
  • the male connector housing 1 has a web 20 or a wall section between the side walls 1 ′, which is provided with a number of coding slots 16. With the coding slots 16 approaches 17 arranged on the socket strip housing 4 come into effect for coding purposes.
  • the longitudinal mobility of the slider 10 on the socket strip housing 4 allows various adjusting movements of the same on the socket strip housing 4 (FIG. 21), which has an advantageous effect on the contacting of the socket contacts with electrical conductors (not shown).
  • the electrical conductors can equally be led away over one or the other end face of the socket strip housing 4.
  • the slide 10 can be pushed onto the socket strip housing 4 from one end face (FIG. 21). Then the socket strip housing 4 together with the slide 10 by inserting the pins 5 into the recesses 7 (FIG. 1) in an articulated manner with the male connector housing 1 and, as further shown in FIG. 1, can be pivoted in the direction of the coupling position of the female contacts 3 and male contacts 2.
  • the female connector housing 4 initially takes the upper position shown in dashed lines in FIG. 1, in order subsequently by pressing on the male connector housing 1 and immersing the sliding blocks 14 in the sliding grooves 15 by longitudinally moving the slide 10 on the female connector housing 4 and supporting the pin 5 on the surfaces 15 'to take up the contacting position (inner end position of the socket strip housing).
  • the sliding blocks 14 are located in the region of widenings 18, in which the sliding blocks 14 are resiliently held under the effect of the pretensioning of a sealing ring (not shown) inserted between the socket strip and the male connector housing.
  • the sliding blocks 14 can be brought out of the sliding grooves 15 by the longitudinal movement of the slide 10 in opposite directions, whereby the sliding contacts 14 automatically lift out of the socket contacts 3 by the knife contacts 2 by the sliding of the sliding blocks 14 onto the lower boundary surface 15 '' of the sliding grooves 15. Subsequently, the female connector housing 4 can be removed from the male connector housing 1 by leading the pins 5 out of the recesses 7.

Abstract

Un dispositif électrique de raccordement multipolaire comprend une réglette de contacts et une réglette d'attaches agencées chacune dans un logement. Le logement de la réglette d'attaches et le logement de la réglette de contacts sont mutuellement reliés à une extrémité par une charnière amovible et peuvent être sollicités l'un contre l'autre par des chevilles du logement de la réglette d'attaches, guidées dans des rainures de connexion du logement de la réglette de contacts afin de mettre la réglette de contacts en contact avec la réglette d'attaches. Afin d'assurer une connexion fiable, le logement (4) de la réglette d'attaches est maintenu de manière pivotante sur le logement (1) de la réglette de contacts par une charnière formée d'une cheville (5) qui pénètre dans des évidements (7) similaires à des rainures du logement (1) de la réglette de contacts. Une coulisse (10) guidée dans le sens longitudinal est agencée sur le logement (4) de la réglette d'attaches et porte des deux côtés des blocs coulissants (14) à son extrémité opposée à la charnière (5, 7). Des rainures de connexion (15) sont ménagées dans les deux parois longitudinales (1') du logement (1) de la réglette de contacts. La coulisse (10) peut pousser les blocs coulissants (14) dans ces rainures ou peut les en enlever afin de comprimer ou de libérer le logement (4) de la réglette d'attaches.
