Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen modulen Mehrfachstecker und/oder eine module Mehrfachsteckdose von Steckverbindungseinrichtungen für Schwachstromanlagen insbesondere der Tele- und Datenkommunikation, mit hülsenförmigen Kodierungsmitteln, die bei Nichtübereinstimmung ein Kontakte verbindendes Zusammenstecken von Stecker und Steckdose verhindern.The present invention relates to a modular multiple plug and / or a modular multiple socket of connector devices for low-voltage systems, in particular for telecommunications and data communication, with sleeve-shaped coding means which prevent a plug-in connection of the connector and the socket if they do not match.

Bei Schwachstromanlagen insbesondere der Tele- und Datenkommunikation nimmt das Problem zu, die unterschiedlichsten Anschluss-Systeme, wie beispielsweise Telefonie- oder On-Line-Systeme, EDV-Systeme u.dgl. miteinander steckbar zu verbinden, ohne dass Falschverbindungen zustande kommen.In the case of low-voltage systems, in particular telecommunications and data communication, the problem is increasing, the most varied Connection systems, such as telephony or online systems, IT systems and the like. to be pluggable with each other without false connections.

Es sind deshalb Kodierungsmittel üblich, die bei Nichtübereinstimmung ein Kontakte verbindendes Zusammenstecken von Stecker und Steckdose verhindern.Coding means are therefore common which prevent the plug and socket from being plugged together in the event of a mismatch.

Eine solche Anordnung ist etwa durch die EU-Patentanmeldung 91114313.9 der gleichen Anmelderin bekannt geworden, wo die Kodierungsmittel einen, den geometrischen Querschnitt der Stecköffnung der Steckdose entsprechend dem Querschnitt des Einsteckteiles des zu verwendenden Steckers ändernden Bauteil umfassen, wobei diese Bauteile hülsenförmig oder auch nur Plättchen oder auch nur U-förmige Bügelteile sein können, um eine Anpassung der Steckeröffnung der Stecksose an den betreffenden geometrischen Querschnitt des Einsteckteiles des zu verwendenden Steckers zu erreichen.Such an arrangement is known, for example, from EU patent application 91114313.9 by the same applicant, where the coding means comprise a component which changes the geometric cross section of the plug opening of the socket in accordance with the cross section of the plug-in part of the plug to be used, these components being sleeve-shaped or just platelets or can only be U-shaped bracket parts in order to achieve an adaptation of the plug opening of the socket to the relevant geometric cross section of the plug-in part of the plug to be used.

Diese Massnahmen haben sich in der Praxis aber als wenig professionell und ausreichend erwiesen, woraus sich die Aufgabe gestellt hat, eine Lösung zu finden, die zu praktisch unbeschränkten Kodierungsmöglichkeiten führt und ein einfaches Nachrüsten der bestehenden modulen Stecker und Steckdosen gestattet.In practice, however, these measures have proven to be not very professional and sufficient, which has given rise to the task of finding a solution that leads to practically unlimited coding options and simple retrofitting of the existing modular plug and sockets allowed.

Dies wird nun erfindungsgemäss dadurch erreicht, dass die hülsenförmigen Kodierungsmittel für den Stecker ein auf einen modulen Stecker in Umfangsrichtung und in Längsrichtung umsetzbar aufsteckbarer Bauteil ist, mit einem durch jeweiliges Umsetzen an unterschiedliche geometrische Querschnitte der Steckeröffnung von modulen Steckdosen anpassbaren Querschnitt; und/oder, dass die hülsenförmigen Kodierungsmittel für die Steckdose ein der Steckeröffnung einer modulen Steckdose in Umfangsrichtung und in Längsrichtung umsetzbar vorsetzbarer Bauteil ist, mit einem durch jeweiliges Umsetzen an unterschiedliche geometrische Querschnitte von modulen Steckern resp. Stecker-Kodierungsmitteln anpassbaren Innen-Querschnitt.This is now achieved according to the invention in that the sleeve-shaped coding means for the plug is a component that can be plugged onto a modular plug in the circumferential direction and in the longitudinal direction, with a cross section that can be adapted to different geometric cross sections of the plug opening of modular sockets; and / or that the sleeve-shaped coding means for the socket is a component of the plug opening of a modular socket that can be implemented in the circumferential direction and in the longitudinal direction, with a respective implementation of different geometric cross sections of modular plugs, respectively. Connector coding means customizable inside cross-section.

Durch diese Massnahmen ist nunmehr eine nachrüstbare, einfachst einsetzbare, praktisch unbeschränkte Kodierung für handelsübliche Steckverbindungseinrichtungen mit modulen Steckern und Steckdosen möglich.These measures now make retrofittable, easy-to-use, practically unlimited coding possible for commercially available plug-in connection devices with modular plugs and sockets.

Hierbei kann bevorzugt der module Mehrfachstecker so ausgestaltet sein, dass die Stecker-Kodierungshülse verschiebungsfest in einem, auf einen Stecker aufsteckbaren Klammerteil einsitzt, wobei dann die Stecker-Kodierungshülse in Steckrichtung verlaufende Kodierungsnuten und Kodierbezeichnungsstege aufweist, wobei letztere wenigstens teilweise von Zungen am Klammerteil überdeckbar sind und wobei ferner am freien Ende mindestens einer Zunge des Klammerteiles eine die aufgesteckte Stecker-Kodierungshülse hintergreifende Klinke angeordnet ist.In this case, the modular multiple plug can preferably be designed such that the plug coding sleeve is seated in a non-displaceable manner in a clip part which can be plugged onto a plug, the plug coding sleeve then has coding grooves and coding designation webs running in the plug-in direction, the latter being at least partially covered by tongues on the clip part and further being arranged at the free end of at least one tongue of the clip part a catch engaging behind the plug-in coding sleeve.

Die Mehrfachsteckdose hingegen ist vorteilhaft so ausgestaltet, dass die Steckdosen-Kodierungshülse verschiebungsfest in einem, frontseitig von der Steckdose abragenden klammerartigen Halter einsitzt, dass ferner die Steckdosen-Kodierungshülse in Steckrichtung verlaufende, Kodierbezeichnungen tragende, zur Aufnahme von abragenden Zungen des klammerartigen Halters bestimmte Nuten aufweist, welche von den Zungen wenigstens teilweise überdeckt werden und dass weiter am freien Ende mindestens einer Zunge des klammerartigen Halters eine, die eingestelzte Steckdosen-Kodierungshülse hintergreifende Klinke angeordnet ist. Ferner die Ausgestaltung der Mehrfachsteckdose so sein, dass die Steckdosen-Kodierungshülse nach innen abragende, zum Zusammenwirken mit den Kodierungsnuten der Stecker-Kodierungshülse bestimmte Nockenteile umfasst.The multiple socket, on the other hand, is advantageously designed such that the socket coding sleeve is seated in a non-displaceable manner in a clip-like holder projecting from the socket on the front, and that the socket coding sleeve furthermore has coding grooves which run in the plug-in direction and carry coding designations intended to accommodate protruding tongues of the clip-like holder , which are at least partially covered by the tongues and that further on the free end of at least one tongue of the bracket-like holder there is a pawl which engages behind the inserted socket coding sleeve. Furthermore, the design of the multiple socket should be such that the socket coding sleeve comprises inwardly projecting cam parts which are intended to interact with the coding grooves of the plug coding sleeve.

Hierbei sind die hülsenförmigen Kodierungsmittel 1 für den Stecker 2 ein auf einen modulen Stecker 2 in Umfangsrichtung und in Längsrichtung umsetzbar aufsteckbarer Bauteil, mit einem durch jeweiliges Umsetzen an unterschiedliche geometrische Querschnitte der Steckeröffnung 3 von modulen Steckdosen 4 anpassbaren Querschnitt.In this case, the sleeve-shaped coding means 1 for the plug 2 are a component which can be plugged onto a modular plug 2 in the circumferential direction and in the longitudinal direction, with a cross section which can be adapted to different geometric cross sections of the plug opening 3 of modular sockets 4.

Wie Fig. 2 und 3 mehr im Einzelnen zeigen, sitzt die Stekker-Kodierungshülse 1 verschiebungsfest in einem, auf einen Stecker 2 aufsteckbaren Klammerteil 6. Hierbei weist die Stecker-Kodierungshülse 1 in Steckrichtung verlaufende Kodierungsnuten 7 und Kodierbezeichnungsstege 8 auf, wobei letztere wenigstens teilweise von Zungen 9 am Klammerteil 6 überdeckbar sind. Ferner ist es vorteilhaft, am freien Ende mindestens einer Zunge 9 des Klammerteiles 6 eine die aufgesteckte Stecker-Kodierungshülse 1 hintergreifende Klinke 10 vorzusehen.2 and 3 show in more detail, the Stekker coding sleeve 1 is seated in a non-displaceable manner in a clip part 6 that can be plugged onto a plug 2. Here, the plug coding sleeve 1 has coding grooves 7 and coding designation webs 8 running in the plugging direction, the latter at least partially of tongues 9 on the bracket part 6 can be covered. Furthermore, it is advantageous to provide at the free end of at least one tongue 9 of the clamp part 6 a pawl 10 engaging behind the plug-in coding sleeve 1.

Erfindungswesentlich ist gemäss Fig. 1 weiter, dass die hülsenförmigen Kodierungsmittel 5 für die Steckdose 3,4 ein der Steckeröffnung 3 einer modulen Steckdose 4 in Umfangsrichtung und in Längsrichtung umsetzbar vorsetzbarer Bauteil ist, mit einem durch jeweiliges Umsetzen an unterschiedliche geometrische Querschnitte von modulen Steckern resp. Stecker-Kodierungsmitteln 1 anpassbaren Innen-Querschnitt. Hierbei ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die SteckdosenKodierungshülse 5 verschiebungsfest in einem, frontseitig von der Stecksode 4 abragenden klammerartigen Halter 11 einsitzt und in Steckrichtung verlaufende, Kodierbezeichnungen tragende, zur Aufnahme von abragenden Zungen 12 des klammerartigen Halters 11 bestimmte Nuten 13 aufweist, welche von den Zungen 12 wenigstens teilweise überdeckt werden.1 that the sleeve-shaped coding means 5 for the socket 3, 4 is one of the plug opening 3 of a modular socket 4 in the circumferential direction and can be implemented in the longitudinal direction, can be implemented with a respective implementation of different geometric cross sections of modular plugs, respectively. Connector coding means 1 adjustable inner cross section. It is advantageous if the socket coding sleeve 5 is seated in a non-displaceable manner in a bracket-like holder 11 protruding from the front of the plug-in socket 4 and has coding designations that run in the plug-in direction and has coding grooves intended for receiving protruding tongues 12 of the bracket-like holder 11, which are provided by the tongues 12 are at least partially covered.

Für eine einfache Montage ist die Ausgestaltung dann zweckmässig so, dass am freien Ende mindestens einer Zunge 12 des klammerartigen Halters 11 eine, die eingestelzte Steckdosen-Kodierungshülse 5 hintergreifende Klinke 14 angeordnet ist. Weiter umfasst die Steckdosen-Kodierungshülse 5 nach innen abragende, zum Zusammenwirken mit den Kodierungsnuten 7 der Stecker-Kodierungshülse 1 bestimmte Nockenteile 15.For simple assembly, the configuration is then expedient such that a pawl 14, which engages behind the inserted socket coding sleeve 5, is arranged at the free end of at least one tongue 12 of the bracket-like holder 11. Furthermore, the socket coding sleeve 5 comprises inwardly projecting cam parts 15 which are intended to cooperate with the coding grooves 7 of the plug coding sleeve 1.

Aus dem Vorbeschriebenen ergibt sich zunächst, dass die verwendeten Kodierungsmittel in Form von Hülsen am modulen Mehrfachstecker oder an der modulen Mehrfachsteckdose oder an beiden gleichzeitig eine praktisch unbeschränkte Anzahl von Kodierungsmöglichkeiten gestatten. Weiter ist der Aufbau solcher Steckverbindungseinrichtungen sehr einfach und für alle gängigen Stecker und Steckdosen der vorgenannten Art nachrüstbar.From the above, it first emerges that the coding means used in the form of sleeves on the modular multiple plug or on the modular multiple socket or on both simultaneously permit a practically unlimited number of coding possibilities. Furthermore, the construction of such plug connection devices is very simple and can be retrofitted for all common plugs and sockets of the aforementioned type.

Hierbei sind im Rahmen der Erfindung natürlich eine Reihe von Modifikationen denkbar. So lassen sich die hülsenförmigen Bauteile 1 und 5 auch quer- oder längsgeteilt gestalten. Ferner können auch zur Anpassung der geometrischen Querschnitte zusätzlich Plättchen o.dgl. (nicht gezeigt) verwendet werden.A number of modifications are of course conceivable within the scope of the invention. In this way, the sleeve-shaped components 1 and 5 can also be designed to be transverse or longitudinal. Furthermore, plates or the like can also be used to adapt the geometric cross sections. (not shown) can be used.
