Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kabelkastenaufhängung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, siche auch DE-A-24 14384.The invention relates to a cable box suspension according to the preamble of claim 1, see also DE-A-24 14384.

Bisher konnten die Kabelkästen ohne Nachteil auf einer Führung verschoben werden, wenn der Kuppelkopf mit dem Gegenkopf gekuppelt hat. Nachdem aber die Kabelkästen eine immer grössere Anzahl von Kontakten, derzeit bis zu 18o Stück, aufnehmen müssen, wird das Gewicht der Kabelkästen immer grösser und beim Verschieben der Kästen kann es zu Zerstörungen kommen, wenn der Kabelkasten mit zu grosser Wucht gegen den Endanschlag anstösst. Ebenso sind die Rüttelbewegungen im gekuppelten Zustand schädlich, sodass auch von daher Zerstörungen zu erwarten sind.Previously, the cable boxes could be moved on a guide without disadvantage if the coupling head had coupled with the counter head. However, after the cable boxes have to accept an increasing number of contacts, currently up to 18o, the weight of the cable boxes becomes ever greater and when the boxes are moved, they can be destroyed if the cable box hits the end stop with excessive force. The vibrations in the coupled state are also harmful, so destruction can also be expected from them.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Kabelkastenaufhängung zu schaffen, bei der der Kabelkasten bei der Vor- und Rückwärtsbewegung sanft in den Endlagen abgebremst wird und Rüttelbewegungen insbesondere gegeneinander verspannter Kabelkästen vermieden werden.The present invention is therefore based on the object of providing a cable box suspension in which the cable box is gently braked in the end positions during the forward and backward movement and shaking movements, in particular cable boxes braced against one another, are avoided.

Die Lösung der Aufgabe besteht darin, dass das Lagerrohr mind. am einen Ende kegelförmig angefast ist und der zugehörige Endanschlag einen der Fase entsprechend schräg liegenden Metallring als Anschlagring trägt, welcher sich über einen oder mehrere Ringe aus Gummi oder ähnlichen Elastomeren am Endanschlag abstützt.The solution to the problem is that the bearing tube is chamfered at least at one end and the associated end stop carries a beveled metal ring corresponding to the chamfer as a stop ring, which is supported by one or more rings made of rubber or similar elastomers on the end stop.

Vorteilhaft besteht der Gummiring aus einem oder mehreren Metallringen mit auf beiden Seiten aufvulkanisierten Gummilagen und der Anschlagring ist mit der äusseren Gummilage fest verbunden, zum Beispiel aufvulkanisiert.The rubber ring advantageously consists of one or more metal rings with vulcanized rubber layers on both sides and the stop ring is firmly connected to the outer rubber layer, for example vulcanized.

Zweckmässig ist die rückwärtige Gummilage entsprechend ihrem Sitz im Anschlag ausgeformt.The rear rubber layer is expediently shaped in accordance with its seat in the stop.

Der Vorteil der erfindungsgemässen Ausbildung der Kabelkastenaufhängung besteht darin, dass mit relativ einfachen Mitteln eine Verschiebung der Kabelkästen ermöglicht wird, ohne dass der elastische Anschlag zu schnell zerstört wird und ausserdem kann der elastische Anschlag dem Gewicht eines Kabelkastens angepasst werden.The advantage of the design of the cable box suspension according to the invention is that the cable boxes can be moved with relatively simple means without the elastic stop being destroyed too quickly, and moreover the elastic stop can be adapted to the weight of a cable box.

In der Zeichnung ist eine beispielsweise Ausbildung einer Kabelkastenaufhängung nach der Erfindung dargestellt, wobei am Kuppelkopf 11 ein Träger 12 befestigt ist, an dessen vorderen Ende ein Lagerrohr 13 befestigt ist, in dem seinerseits eine Führungsstange 14 verschieblich gelagert ist.Das Führungsrohr 13 ist über zwei Traversen 15,16 mit entsprechenden Edanschlägen 15',16' mit dem Kabelkasten 17 fest verbunden. Da sich die Führungsstange 14 mit dem Lagerrohr 13 in Fahrzeuglängsrichtung erstreckt, ist damit gewährleistet, dass der Kabelkasten 17 in dieser Richtung verschoben werden kann und dabei mit dem Kabelkasten der Gegenkupplung zusammenwirkt. Das Lagerrohr 13 ist an seinem hinteren Ende 18 kegelförmig angefast und der zugehörige Endanschlag 16' trägt einen der Fase 19 entsprechend schräg liegenden Metallring als Anschlagring 2o, welcher sich über zwei Ringe 21,22 aus Gummi oder einem ähnlich elastischen Material am Endanschlag 16' abstützt. Zwischen den beiden Ringen 21 und 22 ist ein Metallring 23 angeordnet, welcher mit den Gummiringen 21 und 22 fest aufvulkanisiert sind. Auch der Anschlagring 2o ist mit dem anliegenden Gummiring 21 durch Vulkanisation verbunden. Der rückwärtige Gummiring 22 ist entsprechend dem Sitz im Endanschlag 16' geformt.In the drawing, an example embodiment of a cable box suspension according to the invention is shown, wherein a carrier 12 is attached to the coupling head 11, at the front end of which a bearing tube 13 is attached, in which in turn a guide rod 14 is slidably mounted. The guide tube 13 is over two Trusses 15, 16 with corresponding Edanschlag 15 ', 16' firmly connected to the cable box 17. Since the guide rod 14 extends with the bearing tube 13 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, this ensures that the cable box 17 can be moved in this direction and thereby cooperates with the cable box of the mating coupling. The bearing tube 13 is chamfered conically at its rear end 18 and the associated end stop 16 'carries a metal ring corresponding to the chamfer 19 as a stop ring 2o, which is supported on the end stop 16' via two rings 21, 22 made of rubber or a similar elastic material . Between the two rings 21 and 22, a metal ring 23 is arranged, which are vulcanized firmly with the rubber rings 21 and 22. The stop ring 2o is also connected to the adjacent rubber ring 21 by vulcanization. The rear rubber ring 22 is shaped according to the seat in the end stop 16 '.

In der Zeichnung ist noch gestrichelt die Lage des Anschlags dargestellt, wenn sich der Kabelkasten in seiner rückwärtigen Lage befindet.The position of the stop is shown in dashed lines in the drawing when the cable box is in its rearward position.

Ohne dass die Wirkung verloren geht, kann man den Kabelkasten mit dem Lagerrohr 13 verbinden und die Führungsstange 14 mit dem Kuppelkopf 11 verbinden. In diesem Falle kann die Lage des Anschlagrings mit den Gummiringen in der in der Zeichnung dargestellten Lage verbleiben.
Man kann natürlich auch zwei Anschläge 19 mit den Gummiringen 2o bis 22 in jeder Traverse 15,16 anordnen.Without the effect being lost, the cable box can be connected to the bearing tube 13 and the guide rod 14 can be connected to the coupling head 11. In this case, the position of the stop ring with the rubber rings can remain in the position shown in the drawing.
Of course, you can also arrange two stops 19 with the rubber rings 20 to 22 in each cross member 15, 16.
