Definitions

  • the invention relates to devices equipped with one or more movable cable outlets, in particular cable connectors and cable bushings with an adjustable cable outlet direction. Furthermore, the invention relates to high-frequency-tight cable connectors and cable bushings with adjustable cable outlet direction.
  • plug end housings designed as heat-shrinking molded parts are known, which are rubber-elastic in their delivery form and are pushed over already installed plugs. When heated, they convert their delivery form into a predetermined form of use. One end encloses the back of the connector, the other shrinks firmly onto the cable.
  • the cable outlet can be bent to a different angle within a narrow angular range around the predetermined use form, which angle it maintains after cooling.
  • plug end housing made of heat shrinking
  • plastic materials have the disadvantage that they are only commercially available in certain assemblies, preferably with 90 ° and 180 ° bends, and moreover the cable outlet angle has high tolerances after heat shrinking. If a wide range of cable outlet angles are to be implemented with these plug end housings, this leads to a cost-intensive variety of variants. Subsequent changes in angle, for example at the location where the connector is installed, are not possible.
  • housings for cable connectors made of die-cast metal or plastic injection molding are known, in which the angle for the cable outlet is determined by the housing design.
  • This type of cable connector also leads to a cost-intensive and thus undesirable wealth of variants if the cable outlet angle has to be set individually in relation to a specific application. Subsequent changes in angle, for example at the location where the connector is installed, are also not possible here.
  • a cable connector with two selectable cable outlet directions and a housing which has a cable entry area and a contact area, is known, the housing consisting of two parts which can be separated and joined together in the cable entry area, preferably by hand, the parting surfaces of which run at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the connector.
  • these cable connectors facilitate cost-saving volume production and a simple possibility of producing the desired cable outlet direction at the installation site, they are unsuitable for many applications in industrial electronics, because only two cable outlet directions (0 ° and 90 °) can be set.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a cable connector and a cable bushing with a freely adjustable cable outlet direction, in which the cable outlet angle can be set freely and with great accuracy within a predetermined range of values, which have excellent high-frequency tightness and which can be easily adjusted at the installation site .
  • a cable connector with a housing which has a contact area and a cable outlet area, the cable outlet area having a ball joint through which a cable connected to the contact area is passed.
  • a cable bushing device with a housing which has a breakthrough fastening region and a cable outlet region, the cable outlet region having a ball joint through which a cable to be passed is passed.
  • the ball joint is designed in such a way that it can be freely adjusted in a first assembly state. Since the cable is passed through the ball joint, the cable outlet angle can be adjusted by adjusting the ball joint in this installed state. In a second assembly state, the ball joint is locked; The cable outlet angle, once defined and precisely set, is then retained, but can be reset if necessary by returning the joint to the first installation state, for example in connection with maintenance work.
  • the two assembly states of the ball joint can be realized, for example, in that the contact pressure with which a ball joint body is mounted between a ball joint socket and a ball joint coupling element is set to a low or high value by loosening or tightening a screw connection or the like.
  • the housing of a cable connector or a cable lead-through device according to the invention and all components of the ball joint are made of an electrically conductive material and electrically connected to a shield of the cable passed through the ball joint, so that there is excellent high-frequency tightness.
  • Fig. 1 shows an exploded view of a cable connector according to the invention with freely adjustable cable outlet direction.
  • the cable connector has a plug base element 1 which is provided with suitable recesses (not shown) for receiving contact pins or contact sockets 3 attached to cable wires 2. That end of the cable connector according to the invention which points to a corresponding connector counterpart is referred to below as “proximal” and the opposite end as “distal”. This nomenclature is also transferred to the orientation of other components of the cable connector.
  • the proximal end of the plug base element 1 is designed in such a way that it interacts as intended with the corresponding plug counterpart (not shown).
  • the connector base element 1 is preferably designed as a standard part, so that it can be used as part of a standard connector connection common in the respective area of application.
  • a ball joint consisting of a ball joint socket ring 4, a ball joint body 5 and a ball joint union nut 6 is arranged, through which a shielded cable 7 having a number of cable cores 2 is passed.
  • the shielded cable 7 has an insulating jacket 8 which extends from the distal end of the cable to a point which is at a predetermined distance A from the contact pins or sockets 3.
  • Below the insulating jacket 8, the shielded cable has an electrically conductive shielding braid 9, as shown in FIG. 2 .
  • the metallic shielding braid 9 extends from the distal cable end to a point which has a predetermined distance B from the contact pins 3.
  • the distance C between the proximal end of the insulating jacket 8 and the proximal end of the shielding braid 9 represents a cable section on which the shielding braid 9 of the cable 7 is exposed and which is electrically in contact with the latter when it is inserted into a cable guide sleeve 10 made of an electrically conductive material .
  • the cable guide sleeve 10 has, for example, spirally cut solder grooves 11 in the circumference of a section lying at the proximal end, by means of which the cable guide sleeve 10 is soldered to the shielding braid 9.
  • the ball joint union nut 6 has an internal thread 12 at its proximal end, with which it is screwed onto a corresponding external thread 13 attached to the distal end of the plug base element 1.
  • FIG. 2 shows a partially cut top view of a cable connector according to the invention of the first embodiment according to FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 3 shows a cross section through a ball joint body 5 of the cable connector according to the invention according to FIG. 1 .
  • the cable connector according to the invention has a cavity 5a with a proximal joint body opening 14 and a distal joint body opening 15.
  • the distal joint body opening 15 is preferably provided with an internal thread 16, into which the cable guide sleeve 10, which is provided on a distal section with a corresponding external thread (not shown), is screwed.
  • FIG. 4 shows a cross section through a cable guide sleeve 10 of a first embodiment of the cable connector according to the invention according to FIG. 1 .
  • this cable sleeve 10 has a proximal cable sleeve region 17 of a first diameter D and one on it adjoining distal cable guide sleeve section 18 with a second diameter E, the first diameter D being smaller than the second diameter E.
  • the distal cable guide sleeve section 18 can have an internal thread (not shown) into which the cable 7 is screwed with its insulating jacket 8 for strain relief.
  • the required external thread on the insulating jacket 8 of the cable 7 can also be cut through the internal thread of the distal cable guide sleeve section 18 when screwing in.
  • This union nut is essentially formed by a cylindrical tube piece, the inside diameter of which is dimensioned such that the ball joint body 5 can be inserted into the ball joint union nut 6 with slight play.
  • the distal end of the ball joint union nut 6 has an inner edge 20, the inside diameter of which is dimensioned such that the ball joint body 5 cannot emerge from the distal end of the ball joint union nut 6.
  • FIG. 6 shows a cross section through the joint socket ring 4 of the cable connector according to the invention according to FIG. 1 .
  • the ball joint socket ring 4 consists essentially of a tubular section, the inner diameter of which is designed like an socket socket at the distal end 21, so that in particular the ball joint body 5 with its proximal end cannot pass through the ball joint socket ring 4.
  • the ball joint socket ring 4 can have teeth 19b be provided, which engages in a corresponding toothing 19a on the distal end of the plug base element 1.
  • the ball joint socket ring 4 can be provided at this end with a suitable, inner circumferential recess, which for example has a rounded or polygonal cross-sectional profile, in order to prevent radial displacements of the ball joint socket ring 4 with respect to the plug base element 1, which could possibly endanger the high-frequency tightness.
  • the ball joint socket ring 4 can also have a longitudinal slot extending over its entire length.
  • Fig. 7 shows a cross section through a second embodiment of a cable connector according to the invention.
  • FIG. 8 shows a cross section through a third embodiment of a cable connector according to the invention, in which cable exit angles ⁇ ′′ greater than 90 ° can also be achieved by using a more angled cable guide sleeve 102.
  • Fig. 9 shows a cross section through a 45 ° angled cable outlet sleeve 101 according to the second embodiment of a cable connector according to the invention
  • Fig. 10 shows a cross section through a 90 ° angled cable guide sleeve 102 of a cable connector according to the invention according to the third embodiment.
  • FIG. 11 shows a cross section of a cable bushing according to the invention with a freely adjustable cable outlet direction.
  • the construction of this cable bushing according to the invention essentially corresponds to that of the cable connector according to the invention according to FIG. 1 .
  • the ball joint socket ring 204 is here, however, not fastened to a plug base element 1, but, for example, to a housing wall 200 provided with an opening. Otherwise, this embodiment also has a ball joint composed of a ball joint socket ring 204, a ball joint body 205 and a ball joint union nut 206, a cable guide sleeve 206, through which a cable (not shown) is guided, being inserted into the ball joint body 205.
