Description

Steckverbinder für elektrische oder elektronische LeitungenConnectors for electrical or electronic lines
Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Steckverbinder gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a connector according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
Bei den bekannten Steckverbindern dieser Art besteht der Stecker aus einem inneren, die elektrisch leitenden Elemente enthaltenden Teil, das in seiner Gesamtheit von einer die Schürze enthaltenden Umhüllung aus Weichplastik umfangen ist, während die isolierenden Teile der Steckkontur in ihrer Gesamtheit aus Hartplastik hergestellt werden. Zur Sicherung der Verbindung nach dem Zusammenfügen der Teile sind der Steckschaft der Steckkontur mit einer oder mehreren Vertiefungen und die Schürze an den hierzu korrespondierenden Stellen ihrer Innenfläche mit Noppen versehen, die beim Zusammenfügen ineinander einrasten und dem Lösen der Verbindung einen mehr oder weniger großen Widerstand entgegensetzen. Zur Gewährleistung der gewünschten Polung sind in der Re- ge der Steckschaft und die Schürze in einer Fehlpolungen ausschließenden Weise profiliert ausgebildet.In the known connectors of this type, the plug consists of an inner part containing the electrically conductive elements, which is encased in its entirety by a covering containing the apron made of soft plastic, while the insulating parts of the plug contour are made in their entirety from hard plastic. To secure the connection after the parts have been joined, the plug-in shaft of the plug-in contour is provided with one or more recesses and the apron at the corresponding locations on its inner surface with knobs which snap into one another when they are joined together and provide more or less resistance when the connection is released . To ensure the desired polarity, the plug-in shaft and the apron are profiled in a manner that excludes incorrect polarity.
Als ein Nachteil der bekannten Steckverbinder wird der mit konstruktive und produktionstechnische Aufwand angesehen, der durch die konstruktiv notwendige Mehrteiligkeit des Steckers sowie den Einsatz mehrerer verschiedener Materialien verursacht wird, die die Herstellung des Steckers in mehreren Arbeitsgängen erforderlich macht. Der wesentliche Nachteil der bekannten Steckverbinder besteht jedoch darin, daß der Zutritt von Feuchtigkeit in das Steckerinnere nicht mit ausrei- chender Sicherheit gewährleistet werden kann.A disadvantage of the known plug-in connectors is considered to be the constructional and production-related effort which is caused by the structurally necessary multipart structure of the plug and the use of several different materials, which necessitates the production of the plug in several operations. However, the main disadvantage of the known plug connectors is that the access of moisture into the inside of the plug cannot be guaranteed with sufficient security.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt als Aufgabe die Schaffung eines einfach herstellbaren und feuchtigkeitsdichten Steckverbinders zugrunde. Diese Aufgabe wird mit einem Steckverbinder mit den im Patentanspruch 1 wiedergegebenen Merkmalen gelöst.The present invention has for its object to provide an easy to manufacture and moisture-proof connector. This object is achieved with a connector having the features set out in claim 1.
Durch die Erfindung ist ein konstruktiv einfacher Steckverbinder geschaffen, der die Herstellung der einzelnen Teile unter Einsatz jeweils nur eines (weichplastischen) Materials als Isoliermaterial in nur einem Arbeitsgang erlaubt. Hierbei wird durch die an der vorderen Kante des Steckers vorgesehene, nach rückwärts gerichtete Dichtlippe einerseits eine sichere Dichtung des die leitenden Elemente enthaltenden In- nenraumes erreicht. Die nach rückwärts gerichtete Dichtlippe stellt andererseits eine gute Sicherung des Verbinders gegen unbeabsichtigtes Öffnen insofern, als sie sich unter Zugkraft aufspreizt und hierbei fest unter entsprechender Erhöhung der Reibkraft gegen die Innenwand der Schürze der Steckkontur anlegt, während sie sich unter der zum Zwecke des Zusammenfügens ausgeübten Druckkraft unter Verringerung des Widerstandes eng an die Steckkontur anlegt. Diese Wirkung kann noch durch eine Ausführung verstärkt werden, bei der der Steckschaft in seinem von der Dichtlippe überdeckten Bereich mit einer Kehlung versehen ist. Die Dichtung ist aufgrund der großen Radien im Polygonprofil ab- solut funktionssicher, wobei es als weiterer Vorteil der Erfindung weiterhin möglich ist, die für das Zusammenstecken und Öffnen des Steckers erforderliche Steck- bzw. Zugkraft durch die Form und insbesondere die Anstellung der Dichtlippe auf einen gewünschten Wert einzustellen.The invention creates a structurally simple connector which allows the production of the individual parts using only one (soft plastic) material as the insulating material in only one operation. Here, on the one hand, a secure seal of the interior space containing the conductive elements is achieved by the rearward-facing sealing lip provided on the front edge of the plug. The rearward-facing sealing lip, on the other hand, provides a good securing of the connector against unintentional opening insofar as it spreads out under tensile force and thereby firmly engages against the inner wall of the apron of the plug-in contour with a corresponding increase in frictional force, while they are being exercised under that for the purpose of joining Apply pressure force to the plug-in contour while reducing the resistance. This effect can be enhanced by a design in which the plug-in shaft is provided with a groove in its area covered by the sealing lip. The seal is absolutely reliable due to the large radii in the polygonal profile, and it is furthermore possible as a further advantage of the invention that the plug-in or tensile force required for plugging and opening the plug through the shape and, in particular, the adjustment of the sealing lip to one set the desired value.

Der in der Zeichnung wiedergegebene Steckverbinder dient der Ver- bindung der elektrischen oder elektronischen Leitungen 1, 2 und besteht aus einer elektrisch leitende Steckbuchsen 3 enthaltenden Steckkontur aus einem Griffschaft 4 und einem Steckschaft 5 mit gegenüber dem Griffschaft 4 geringerem Querschnitt sowie einem Stecker mit den Steckbuchsen 3 der Steckkontur entsprechenden Steckerstiften 7, einem Griffschaft 8 sowie einer die Steckerstifte 7 umgebenden rohrförmigen Schürze 9. Die Innenkontur der Schürze entspricht der Außenkontur des Steckschafts 5 der Steckkontur.The plug connector shown in the drawing serves to connect the electrical or electronic lines 1, 2 and consists of a plug contour containing an electrically conductive plug socket 3 and a grip shaft 4 and a plug shaft 5 with a smaller cross section than the grip shaft 4 and a plug with the plug sockets 3 plug pins 7 corresponding to the plug-in contour, a handle shaft 8 and a tubular apron 9 surrounding the plug pins 7. The inner contour of the apron corresponds to the outer contour of the plug-in shaft 5 of the plug-in contour.
Der Steckschaft 5 der Steckkontur ist - siehe auch Fig. 5 - an sei- nera freien Ende mit einer rundumlaufenden Dichtung versehen, die im Falle der wiedergegebenen Ausführungsform von einer aus einem Stück mit dem Steckschaft 5 hergestellten, sich von der vorderen Fläche des Steckschaftes rückwärts erstreckenden Dicht lippe 12 gebildet ist. Er ist weiterhin in seinem hinter der Dichtlippe 12 gelegenen Bereich mit einer Kehlung 13 versehen.The plug-in shaft 5 of the plug-in contour is - see also FIG. 5 - provided at its free end with an all-round seal which, in the case of the embodiment shown, is made from one piece with the plug-in shaft 5 and extends backwards from the front surface of the plug-in shaft extending sealing lip 12 is formed. It is also provided with a groove 13 in its area located behind the sealing lip 12.
Aus der Zeichnung - insbesondere Fig. 5 - ist deutlich zu erkennen, daß die nach rückwärts gerichtete Dicht lippe bei Bewegung des Stechers in Pfeilrichtung in die Schürze 9 tendenziell unter Verringerung des der Bewegung entgegenwirkenden Reibwiderstandes in die Kehlung 13 ausweicht, während sie sich bei Bewegung in der dem Pfeil entgegengerichteten Richtung tendenziell Aufspreizt und unter Materialverdickung zu einer "Verkrallung" führt mit der Folge einer Erhöhung der der Bewegung entgegenwirkenden Reibkraft. Hierbei ist die Stärke der Haltekraft außer von dem Material und der Form, insbesondere Länge und Stärke der Dichtlippe 12 auch von deren Anstellung, d.h. von dem mit dem Steckschaft 5 eingeschlossenen Winkel abhängig. Aus der Zeichnung ist weiterhin deutlich erkennbar, daß die Dicht lippe aufgrund ihrer Lage sowie der nach rückwärts gerichteten Schräge gleichzeitig als Einführschräge für den Stecker dient. Der Steckschaft 5 weist weiterhin einen den Innendurchmesser der Schürze 9 unterschreitenden Außendurchmesser auf und ist in an sich bekannter Weise im Bereich des Überganges zum Griffschaft 4 mit einer rundumlaufenden Nut 11 versehen, wobei am freien Rand der Schürze 9 der Steckkontur ein rundumlaufender Randflansch 10 angeordnet ist, der beim Zusammenfügen der der beiden Teile in die rundumlaufende Nut 11 der Steckkontur einspringt. Bei dieser Ausführungsform erfolgt die Halte- rung, Zentrierung und Lagestabilisierung ausschließlich durch die beiden Dichtungssysteme 12/13 und 10/11, wodurch außer einer weiterhin verbesserten Dichtung eine große Gestaltungsfreiheit und aufgrund der größeren Toleranzen eine größere Standardisierung möglich wird. From the drawing - in particular Fig. 5 - it can be clearly seen that the rearward sealing lip tends to move into the skirt 13 while moving the plunger in the direction of the arrow in the apron 9 while reducing the frictional resistance opposing the movement, while it moves during movement tends to expand in the direction opposite the arrow and leads to a "clawing" under material thickening, with the result that the frictional force counteracting the movement increases. Here, the strength of the holding force depends not only on the material and shape, in particular the length and thickness of the sealing lip 12, but also on its position, that is to say on the angle enclosed with the insertion shaft 5. From the drawing it can also be clearly seen that the sealing lip also serves as an insertion bevel for the plug due to its position and the rearward bevel. The plug-in shaft 5 furthermore has an outside diameter which is below the inside diameter of the apron 9 and is provided in a manner known per se in the region of the transition to the handle shaft 4 with a circumferential groove 11, a circumferential edge flange 10 being arranged on the free edge of the apron 9 of the plug-in contour which jumps in when the two parts are joined into the circumferential groove 11 of the plug-in contour. In this embodiment, the holding, centering and position stabilization are carried out exclusively by the two sealing systems 12/13 and 10/11, which in addition to a further improved seal allows great freedom of design and, due to the larger tolerances, greater standardization is possible.
