Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine elektrische Steckdose, insbesondere für Kraftfahrzeuge, mit einem Klappdeckel, einer Druckfeder für den Klappdeckel, einer am Steckdosengehäuse angeformten Kammer für die Druckfeder und einem am Klappdeckel angeformten und mit einer Steuerkurve versehenen Nocken, der mit der Druckfeder derart zusammenwirkt, daß der Klappdeckel einmal in der Schließstellung und einmal in der Offenstellung selbsttätig gehalten wird.The invention relates to an electrical socket, in particular for motor vehicles, with a hinged cover, a compression spring for the hinged cover, a molded on the socket housing chamber for the compression spring and a molded on the hinged cover and provided with a cam, which cooperates with the compression spring so that the Hinged lid is held automatically once in the closed position and once in the open position.

Eine derartige Steckdose ist nach dem DE-GM 75 12 017 bekannt. Bei der bekannten Steckdose ist eine als Druckfeder ausgebildete Schraubenwindungsfeder zusammen mit einem einen kalottenförmigen Kopf aufweisenden Sperrglied in einer der Steckdosenabdeckung angeformten mit einem Boden versehenen Hülse angeordnet, wobei das Sperrglied mit einem eine Steuerkurve bildenden Nocken zusammenwirkt, der dem Klappdeckel angeformt ist. Schraubenwindungsfeder und Sperrglied sind hierbei getrennte Bauelemente, die in die Hülse der Steckdosenabdeckung eingesetzt werden müssen, bevor der Klappdeckel auf die Steckdosenabdeckung aufgesetzt wird. Die Montage des Klappdeckels ist also umständlich und kostenaufwendig.Such a socket is known from DE-GM 75 12 017. In the known socket, a helical coil spring designed as a compression spring is arranged together with a locking member having a dome-shaped head in a sleeve provided with a base, which sleeve is molded onto the socket cover, the locking member cooperating with a cam which forms a control curve and is formed on the hinged cover. The helical coil spring and locking member are separate components that must be inserted into the socket cover sleeve before the hinged cover is placed on the socket cover. The assembly of the hinged cover is therefore cumbersome and costly.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher die Montage des Klappdeckels zu vereinfachen, um die Material-, Herstellungs- und Montagekosten zu senken. Dies wird gemäß der Erfindung auf vorteilhafte Weise dadurch erreicht, daß die Druckfeder als Blattfeder 10 ausgebildet und in die Kammer 9 des Steckdosengehäuses 2 eingeformt ist und eine kalottenförmige Erhöhung 11 für die Steuerkurve des Nockens aufweist.The object of the invention is therefore to simplify the assembly of the hinged cover in order to reduce the material, manufacturing and assembly costs. This is achieved according to the invention in an advantageous manner in that the compression spring is designed as a leaf spring 10 and is molded into the chamber 9 of the socket housing 2 and has a dome-shaped elevation 11 for the cam cam.

Das Steckdosengehäuse, die Kammer zur Aufnahme der Blattfeder und die Blattfeder bilden ein einziges Bauteil, das aus Kunststoff durch Spritzguß hergestellt werden kann. Dies hat den Vorteil, daß eine kostengünstige Fertigung der Steckdose mit Klappdeckel möglich ist.The socket housing, the chamber for receiving the leaf spring and the leaf spring form a single component that can be made of plastic by injection molding. This has the advantage that cost-effective manufacture of the socket with a hinged lid is possible.

Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung können aus den Unteransprüchen und der Zeichnung entnommen werden. In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß der Erfindung dargestellt, und zwar zeigt:

a side view of the socket with hinged lid
Fig. 2
a plan view of the outlet of FIG. 1st
Fig. 3

Fig. 4
a rear view of the hinged lid.

Die Steckdose 1 besteht aus dem Gehäuse 2 mit dem Klappdeckel 3 und den beiden Flachkontakten 4 und 5 für den Anschluß der elektrischen Zuleitung. Zum Festklammern der Steckdose im Armaturenbrett eines Kraftfahrzeuges sind auf der Vorder- und Rückseite des Gehäuses 2 Klemmfedern 6 und 7 vorgesehen. Im Innern des Gehäuses 2 befindet sich eine zylindrische Kammer 8 zur Aufnahme des Gerätesteckers und eine Kammer 9 für die Blattfeder 10, die mit einer kalotten- oder warzenförmigen Erhöhung 11 versehen ist. Die Blattfeder 10 verläuft in Figur 3 senkrecht zur Zeichnungsebene und bildet mit dem Kunststoffgehäuse ein Bauteil und wird beim Spritzguß in das Gehäuse mit eingespritzt. An der Rückseite des Klappdekkels 3 befindet sich ein an den Deckel 3 angeformter Nocken 15, der eine Steuerkurve aufweist, die mit der Erhöhung 11 der Blattfeder 10 zusammenwirkt. In dem Nocken 15 befinden sich zwei runde Vertiefungen 16 und 17, in die die Erhöhung 11 in der Schließstellung oder in der Offenstellung des Klappdeckels 3 einrastet. Eine Kante 18 auf der Steuerkurve unterteilt diese in zwei Kurvenstücke, eins für die selbsttätige Schließbewegung des Klappdeckels und das andere für die selbsttätige Öffnungsbewegung, wenn der Klappdeckel von Hand aus der jeweiligen Raststellung gedrückt wird, bis die Erhöhung 11 die Kante 18 erreicht hat.The socket 1 consists of the housing 2 with the hinged cover 3 and the two flat contacts 4 and 5 for the connection of the electrical supply line. To clamp the socket in the dashboard of a motor vehicle 2 clamping springs 6 and 7 are provided on the front and back of the housing. Inside the housing 2 there is a cylindrical chamber 8 for receiving the device plug and a chamber 9 for the leaf spring 10, which is provided with a dome or wart-shaped elevation 11. The leaf spring 10 extends perpendicular to the plane of the drawing in FIG. 3 and forms a component with the plastic housing and is injected into the housing during injection molding. On the back of the hinged cover 3 there is a cam 15 formed on the cover 3 and which has a control cam which interacts with the elevation 11 of the leaf spring 10. In the cam 15 there are two round recesses 16 and 17, in which the elevation 11 engages in the closed position or in the open position of the hinged cover 3. An edge 18 on the control curve divides it into two Curve pieces, one for the automatic closing movement of the hinged lid and the other for the automatic opening movement when the hinged lid is pressed by hand from the respective latched position until the elevation 11 has reached the edge 18.

Wie Fig. 4 zeigt, sind am Klappdeckel 3 zwei elastische Schenkel 20 und 21 mit Lagerzapf 22 und 23 angebracht, die bei der Montage des Klappdeckels in Bohrungen 24 des Steckdosengehäuses 2 einschnappen.As shown in FIG. 4, two elastic legs 20 and 21 with bearing pins 22 and 23 are attached to the hinged cover 3, which snap into holes 24 in the socket housing 2 when the hinged cover is installed.
