  • Fig. 2 einen mit Schleifringen bestückten Schleifringträger teilweise im Schnitt, teilweise in Ansicht.
  • Fig. 3 ein weiteres Teil im Schnitt.
  • Fig. 4 im Schnitt die Anordnung aller in den Fig. 1 bis 3 gezeigten Teile in ihrer Bestimmungsposition.
    • An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing.
  • Fig. 1 an end bushing in section.
  • Fig. 2 shows a slip ring carrier equipped with slip rings, partly in section, partly in view.
  • Fig. 3 shows another part in section.
  • Fig. 4 shows in section the arrangement of all parts shown in Figs. 1 to 3 in their determination position.

    • In der Zeichnung ist mit 1 eine Endbuchse bezeichnet, die einen an seinem hinteren Ende offenen Axialschlitz 1a aufweist. Die Flanken des Axialschlitzes 1a gehen in eine etwa rohrförmige Anformung 1b über, die an ihrem vorderen Ende 1c geschlossen ist. Die rohrförmige Anformung 1b dient zur Aufnahme einer elektrische Leiter 4 enthaltenden Schutzhülle 3 (Fig.4), die an der Innenseite eines außen wendelförmig und innen glatten Schlauches 2 (Fig. 3 und 4) befestigt ist.In the drawing, 1 denotes an end bushing, one at its rear end has open axial slot 1a. The flanks of the axial slot 1a go approximately tubular molding 1b, which is closed at its front end 1c. The tubular Forming 1b serves to accommodate a protective sheath containing electrical conductors 4 3 (Fig.4), the inside of an outside helical and inside smooth hose 2 (Fig. 3 and 4) is attached.

    Den Schlauch 2 umgreift ein buchsenförmiger Schleifringträger 5, der einen seine ganze Länge durchgreifenden Schlitz 5a aufweist. Der Schleifringträger 5 ist mit drei Schleifringen 5b bestückt, die in nicht bezeichneten Ringnuten des Schleifringträgers 5 liegen und jeweils mit einem elektrischen Leiter 4 verbunden sind. Der besseren Übersicht wegen wurde in Fig. 4 nur ein elektrischer Leiter 4 und dessen Verbindung mit einem Schleifring 5b eingezeichnet.The tube 2 is encompassed by a bush-shaped slip ring carrier 5, which is one of its entirety Has length-extending slot 5a. The slip ring carrier 5 is with three slip rings 5b equipped, which lie in the ring grooves of the slip ring carrier 5, not shown, and each are connected to an electrical conductor 4. For the better overview, Fig. 4 shows only one electrical conductor 4 and its connection with a slip ring 5b.

    Die Endbuchse 1 und der Schleifringträger 5 sind in ihrer Bestimmungslage axial formschlüssig festgelegt. Hierzu dient mindestens ein erhabener Gewindegang der mit einem Wendelgang des Schlauches 2 verschraubt ist. Der Gewindegang ist nicht, wie bei dem zu Grunde gelegten Stand der Technik, an der Innenseite des Schleifringträgers 5 sondern an der Innenseite einer Zwischenhülse 6 angeformt und im dargestellten Beispiel mit 6b bezeichnet. Die Zwischenhülse 6 ist zwischen dem Schlauch 2 und dem Schleifringträger 5 angeordnet und ist mit einem Schlitz 6c versehen, der in seiner Bestimmungslage mit dem Schlitz 5a des Schleifringträgers 5 und dem Schlitz 1a der Endbuchse 1 fluchtet, so daß der Leiter 4 aus der Schutzhülle 3 heraus durch die Schlitze 1a, 5a, und 6c hindurch zu dem zugeordneten Schleifringträger 5 geführt werden kann (Fig. 4).The end bush 1 and the slip ring carrier 5 are axially positive in their position of determination fixed. At least one raised thread is used for this purpose Spiral gear of the hose 2 is screwed. The thread is not like that too State of the art on the inside of the slip ring carrier 5 instead molded on the inside of an intermediate sleeve 6 and designated 6b in the example shown. The intermediate sleeve 6 is between the hose 2 and the slip ring carrier 5 arranged and is provided with a slot 6c, which in its determination position with the Slit 5a of the slip ring carrier 5 and the slot 1a of the end bush 1 are aligned so that the conductor 4 out of the protective sheath 3 through the slots 1a, 5a, and 6c the associated slip ring carrier 5 can be guided (Fig. 4).

    Am vorderen Ende der Zwischenhülse 6 sind mindestens zwei Durchbrüche 6e angeordnet, in deren Bestimmungsposition jeweils eine an der Endbuchse 1 vorgesehen Rastnase 1d eingreift. Eine gegenseitige axiale Arretierung der Endbuchse 1 und der Zwischenhülse 6 ist durch den Eingriff der Rastnasen 1d der Endbuchse 1 in die Durchbrüche 6e der Zwischenhülse 6 gesichert.At least two openings 6e are arranged at the front end of the intermediate sleeve 6, in their determination position, a locking lug 1d provided on the end bushing 1 intervenes. Mutual axial locking of the end bush 1 and the intermediate sleeve 6 is by the engagement of the locking lugs 1d of the end sleeve 1 in the openings 6e of the intermediate sleeve 6 secured.

    An dem hinteren Ende der Zwischenhülse 6 ist ein umlaufender Bund 6f angeformt, der als Anlage für das hintere Ende des Schleifringträgers 5 dient.At the rear end of the intermediate sleeve 6 a circumferential collar 6f is formed, which as System for the rear end of the slip ring carrier 5 is used.

    An dem umlaufenden Bund 6f der Zwischenhülse 6 ist eine axiale Nase 6g für den Eingriff in den Schlitz 5a des Schleifringträgers 5 angeformt, womit der Schleifringträger 5 radial arretiert ist. On the circumferential collar 6f of the intermediate sleeve 6 there is an axial nose 6g for the engagement molded into the slot 5a of the slip ring carrier 5, whereby the slip ring carrier 5 locks radially is.

    Auch im Schleifringträger 5 sind mit 5c bezeichnete Durchbrüche für den Eingriff der an der Endbuchse 1 angeformten Rastnasen 1d vorgesehen, womit zugleich eine gegenseitige radiale und axiale Arretierung zwischen der Endbuchse 1 und dem Schleifringträger 5 erreicht wird.Also in the slip ring carrier 5 are designated openings 5c for the engagement of the End bush 1 molded locking lugs 1d provided, which at the same time a mutual radial and axial locking between the end bush 1 and the slip ring carrier 5 reached becomes.

    Alle Teile der beschriebenen Anordnung bestehen aus thermoplastischem Material.All parts of the arrangement described are made of thermoplastic material.
