Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein elektrisches Steckergehäuse mit einer Findungseinrichtung für ein in eine Kontaktkammer des Steckergehäuses zu steckendes elektrisches Kontaktelement.The invention relates to an electrical connector housing with a finding device for an electrical contact element to be inserted into a contact chamber of the connector housing.

Es sind Steckergehäuse bekannt, die zumindest eine einer im Querschnitt rechteckigen Kontaktkammer axial vorgeordnete, im Querschnitt runde Dichtungskammer aufweisen, wobei im Übergangsbereich zwischen der Dichtungskammer größeren Durchmessers und der Kontaktkammer kleineren Durchmessers ein kegelstumpfförmiger Findungstrichter runden Querschnitts vorgesehen ist, dessen Mündung in die Kontaktkammer rechteckig ist, weil der Findungstrichter an den Wandungen der Kontaktkammer rechteckigen Querschnitts endet.Plug housings are known which have at least one sealing chamber which is axially arranged in front of a contact chamber which is rectangular in cross section and round in cross section, with a truncated cone-shaped finding funnel of round cross section being provided in the transition region between the larger diameter sealing chamber and the smaller diameter contact chamber, the mouth of which is rectangular in the contact chamber , because the finding funnel ends at the walls of the contact chamber of rectangular cross section.

Eine derartige Gehäusekammer wird maschinell bestückt mit einem an einem elektrischen Leiterdraht gecrimpten, aus einem Blechstanzteil geformten Gabelfederkontaktelement, das eine kastenförmige, dem Querschnitt der Kontaktkammer angepaßte Federarmbasis aufweist, von der sich Gabelfederarme nach vorne zu einer Kontaktstelle erstrecken und an der sich nach hinten erstreckend der Crimp angeordnet ist.Such a housing chamber is mechanically equipped with a fork spring contact element crimped on an electrical conductor wire, formed from a sheet metal stamped part, which has a box-shaped spring arm base adapted to the cross section of the contact chamber, from which fork spring arms extend forward to a contact point and on which extend backwards Crimp is arranged.

Die Gabelfederarme enden mit einem V-förmigen Findungstrichter für eine mit dem Gabelfederkontaktelement zu kontaktierenden Kontaktstift, wobei der Kontaktstift-Findungstrichter parallel im Abstand voneinander angeordnete Endkanten gleicher Länge aufweist, die zugleich die freien Endkanten der Gabelfederarme sind. Ein Kontaktelement mit einem derartigen grundsätzlichen Aufbau ist vielfach bekannt.The fork spring arms end with a V-shaped finding funnel for a contact pin to be contacted with the fork spring contact element, the contact pin finding funnel being parallel has spaced end edges of the same length, which are also the free end edges of the fork spring arms. A contact element with such a basic structure is widely known.

Auf dem elektrischen Leiterdraht sitzt unmittelbar hinter dem Crimp mit Preßsitz ein zylindrischer, Rippen aufweisender Dichtungsstopfen aus einem elastischen Material, dessen Rippendurchmesser dem Durchmesser der Dichtungskammer angepaßt ist. Der Dichtungsstopfen soll das Eindringen von Wasser bzw. Feuchtigkeit von der Leiterdrahtseite zur Kontaktstelle des Kontaktelements in der Kontaktkammer verhindern.A cylindrical, ribbed sealing plug made of an elastic material sits on the electrical conductor wire immediately behind the crimp with a press fit, the rib diameter of which is adapted to the diameter of the sealing chamber. The sealing plug is intended to prevent the ingress of water or moisture from the conductor wire side to the contact point of the contact element in the contact chamber.

Zum Bestücken der Kammer mit einem an einen Leiterdraht gecrimpten Gabelfederkontaktelement ergreift ein Greifer einer Bestückungsvorrichtung den Leiterdraht kurz hinter dem Dichtungsstopfen und schiebt das Kontaktelement durch die Dichtungskammer in die Kontaktkammer. Dabei stoßen die vorderen freien Endkanten der Federarme gegen den Findungstrichter und werden beim weiteren Einstecken zur Kontaktkammer geführt. Wenn das Kontaktelement kontaktkammeraxial ausgerichtet und nicht um seine Längsachse verdreht ist, funktioniert der Findungstrichter in der gewünschten bekannten Weise. Wenn aber das Kontaktelement etwas um die Längsachse verdreht gesteckt wird, stoßen die Kanten in einer mehr oder weniger diagonalen Stellung in bezug auf die Kontaktkammerwandungs-Ausrichtung auf die Kammerkanten am Ende des Trichters mit dem Ergebnis, daß der Trichter seine Funktion nicht erfüllen kann und der Steckvorgang behindert wird. Eine Verdrehung des Kontaktelements ist in der Regel die Folge einer meist nicht verhinderbaren Verdrillung des flexiblen dünnen Leiterdrahts. Da das Greiferelement der Bestückungsvorrichtung das zu steckende Kontaktelement wegen des Dichtungsstopfens nur am Leiterdraht erfassen kann, und nicht wie bei zu steckenden Kontaktelementen ohne Dichtungsstopfen am ortsfesten steifen Crimp, überträgt sich die Verdrillung des Leiterdrahts auf das Kontaktelement, woraus die Steckbehinderungen resultieren können.To populate the chamber with a fork spring contact element crimped onto a conductor wire, a gripper of a fitting device grips the conductor wire just behind the sealing plug and pushes the contact element through the sealing chamber into the contact chamber. The front free end edges of the spring arms hit the finding funnel and are guided to the contact chamber when inserted further. If the contact element is aligned axially in the contact chamber and is not rotated about its longitudinal axis, the finding funnel functions in the desired known manner. However, if the contact element is inserted slightly twisted about the longitudinal axis, the edges meet in a more or less diagonal position with respect to the contact chamber wall orientation on the chamber edges at the end of the funnel with the result that the funnel cannot perform its function and that Mating process is hindered. A twist of the contact element is usually the result of a twist of the flexible thin conductor wire that is usually unavoidable. Since the gripper element of the assembly device can only grip the contact element to be plugged in because of the sealing plug on the conductor wire and not, as in the case of contact elements to be plugged in without a plug, on the stationary rigid crimp, the twisting of the conductor wire is transferred to the contact element, from which the plug-in obstructions can result.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist, ein Kontaktkammern rechteckigen Querschnitts mit vorgeordneten Dichtungskammern runden Querschnitts aufweisendes Steckergehäuse mit einer Findungseinrichtung zwischen den Dichtungs- und Kontaktkammern zu schaffen, die das Stecken von zwei parallele vordere Endkanten aufweisenden, an einen elektrischen Leiterdraht gecrimpten, mit Dichtungsstopfen versehenen Kontaktelement nicht behindern.The object of the invention is to provide a contact chamber of rectangular cross-section with upstream sealing chambers of round cross-section having a connector housing with a finding device between the sealing and contact chambers, which do not hinder the insertion of two parallel front end edges having crimped to an electrical conductor wire and provided with sealing plug contact element .

This object is solved by the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are characterized in the subclaims. Based on the example shown in the drawing, the invention is explained in more detail below. Show it:
Fig. 1

Fig. 2
in perspective a longitudinal section through a housing chamber.

Das zu steckende Kontaktelement 1 aus einem Blechstanzteil ist ein Gabelfederkontakt mit einer kastenförmigen Federarmbasis 2, an die einendig sich nach vorne erstreckend, sich gegenüberliegend angeordnete konvergierende Gabelfederarme 3 angeordnet sind, die in parallel zueinander verlaufenden Endkanten 5 eines Steckstift-Findungstrichters 4 auslaufen. Anderendig ist an die Federarmbasis 2 der Crimp 6 angebunden. Hinter dem Crimp 6 sitzt auf dem elektrischen Leiterdraht 7 ein Dichtungsstopfen 8. Das Kontaktelement 1 soll maschinell in Pfeilrichtung 9 von einem nicht dargestellten Greifer einer Bestückungsvorrichtung (nicht dargestellt) durch eine Dichtungskammer 10 runden Querschnitts in eine axial fluchtende Kontaktkammer 12 rechteckigen Querschnitts eines elektrischen Steckergehäuses 11 gesteckt werden, wobei z.B. eine Verdrehung des Kontaktelements 1 in Pfeilrichtung 13 bezüglich der Ausrichtung der Wandungen der Kammer 12 vorliegen kann.The contact element 1 to be plugged out of a stamped sheet metal part is a fork spring contact with a box-shaped spring arm base 2, to which are arranged converging fork spring arms 3, which extend forwardly at one end and are arranged opposite one another, and which end in parallel end edges 5 of a pin-pin finding funnel 4. At the other end, the crimp 6 is connected to the spring arm base 2. A sealing plug 8 sits on the electrical conductor wire 7 behind the crimp 6. The contact element 1 is to be machined in the direction of arrow 9 from a gripper of a placement device (not shown) (not shown) through a sealing chamber 10 with a round cross section into an axially aligned contact chamber 12 with a rectangular cross section of an electrical connector housing 11 can be inserted, for example a rotation of the contact element 1 in the direction of arrow 13 with respect to the orientation of the walls of the chamber 12 can be present.

Die zur Ausrichtung eines verdrehten Kontaktelements 1 dienende erfindungsgemäße Findungsvorrichtung 14 ist im Übergangsbereich 15 zwischen der Dichtungskammer 10 und der Kontaktkammer 12 angeordnet. Sie besteht im wesentlichen aus jeweils zwei in der Dichtungskammer 10 in zwei in axialer Richtung beabstandeten Querebenen paarweise sich gegenüberliegend angeordneten Querschnittsverengungen 17,18 kreissegmentförmigen Querschnitts, die auf der Innenwandung der Dichtungskammer 10 entspringen und axial bis zur entsprechenden Innenwandung der Kontaktkammer 12 verlaufen, wobei die sich parallel zur Längsachse der Kammern 10,12 erstreckenden Oberflächen 17a, 18a der Querschnittsverengungen 17,18 mit der Oberfläche der entsprechenden Kontaktkammerwandung fluchten. Wesentlich ist, daß jede Querschnittsverengung 17 mit einer Findungsschräge 16 und jede Querschnittsverengung 18 mit einer Findungsschräge 19 beginnt, wobei die Findungsschrägen 16,19 der zusammenwirkenden Paare der Querschnittsverengungen jeweils gleich ausgebildet sind und somit jeweils einen umfänglichen, axial versetzten Teilbereich eines kegelstumpfförmigen Findungstrichters bilden.The inventive finding device 14 used to align a twisted contact element 1 is arranged in the transition region 15 between the sealing chamber 10 and the contact chamber 12. It essentially consists of two cross-sectional constrictions 17, 18 in the form of segments of a circle in cross-section which are arranged opposite one another in the sealing chamber 10 in two axially spaced transverse planes, which arise on the inner wall of the sealing chamber 10 and extend axially to the corresponding inner wall of the contact chamber 12, the surfaces 17a, 18a of the cross-sectional constrictions 17, 18 extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the chambers 10, 12 are aligned with the surface of the corresponding contact chamber wall. It is essential that each cross-sectional constriction 17 begins with a finding bevel 16 and each cross-sectional constriction 18 with a finding bevel 19, the finding bevels 16, 19 of the interacting pairs of cross-sectional constrictions each having the same design and thus each forming a circumferential, axially offset partial area of a truncated cone-shaped finding funnel.

Durch diese erfindungsgemäße Aufteilung des Findungstrichters ergeben sich die Vorfindungsschrägen 16, auf die die Vorderkanten 5 des Kontaktelements 1 zunächst stoßen. Verlaufen dabei die Vorderkanten 5 nicht parallel zur freien Schrägen-Endkante 16a der Schräge 16, ist also das Kontaktelement 1 verdreht, werden die Kanten 5 und damit das Kontaktelement 1 durch die Schrägen 16 derart ausgerichtet, daß die Kanten 5 parallel zu den Kanten 16a verlaufen. Das Kontaktelement 1 kann dann ausgerichtet auf die Schrägen 19 stoßen und problemlos in die Kontaktkammer 12 rutschen. Zweckmäßigerweise sind demgemäß die die Kanten 5 führenden Schrägen 16 den Schrägen 19 in Steckachsrichtung vorgeordnet.This inventive division of the finding funnel results in the bevels 16, which the front edges 5 of the contact element 1 initially encounter. If the front edges 5 do not run parallel to the free slope end edge 16a of the slope 16, ie if the contact element 1 is rotated, the edges 5 and thus the contact element 1 are aligned by the slopes 16 such that the edges 5 run parallel to the edges 16a . The contact element 1 can then align with the bevels 19 and slide easily into the contact chamber 12. Accordingly, the bevels 16 leading the edges 5 are expediently arranged upstream of the bevels 19 in the direction of the plug-in axis.
