Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical plug-in connection with at least two round contacts provided on an electrical component, for example a solenoid valve, a pressure regulator or the like.
  • a round contact preferably the inner one, contains an adjusting means.
  • a connector with at least two plug contacts is provided for connecting the round contacts to a further electrical component.
  • Plug connections of the aforementioned type are sufficiently known from the prior art. With plug connections of this type, it is disadvantageous that the plug must be aligned with the electrical component in a predetermined position in order for the plug to be contacted and locked on the component. Furthermore, since adjustment is usually required in the case of actuator elements, such as a pressure regulator, and the adjustment means is usually arranged centrally on an end face of the component, to which the plug can also be plugged, the adjustment must inevitably take place before the plug is plugged on Contacts are made.
  • the plug connection has means which are designed such that the plug can be plugged onto the round contacts from any direction and onto these and / or in a plane which extends, for example, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the round contacts the electrical component can be locked and that the adjusting means is freely accessible.
  • the plug can thus be plugged onto the round contacts at least in one direction, regardless of direction, and can also be locked onto the round contacts themselves and / or on the electrical component, regardless of the plugging direction.
  • the plug connection, in particular the plug is also designed such that the adjusting means is advantageously freely accessible even after the plug has been placed on the contacts.
  • the plug has at least two plug contacts arranged one above the other, designed as U-shaped spring tabs, the openings of which point in the same direction. This advantageously enables the plug to be plugged onto both round contacts simply and securely at the same time and that an isolator can be provided between the two plug contacts for separating the two round contacts.
  • the plug and / or the round contacts and / or the component itself has at least one latching hook and a latching notch for axially and / or radially locking the plug on the round contacts, the information relating axially and radially to the longitudinal axis of the round contacts.
  • the locking means according to the invention such as the ring gear with locking notches and the corresponding locking lug
  • an embodiment is advantageously proposed which enables the plug to be plugged in and locked from almost any direction in a defined plane, since the locking lug is provided in any of the provided on the circumference of the ring gear Notches can be snapped into place.
  • the gear rim is advantageously provided directly on the electrical component and the corresponding latching lug on the plug. This proposes a solution which enables simple securing of the plug in the circumferential direction on the component without the plug needing to be plugged onto the contacts in a certain direction.
  • the plug encompasses the toothed ring at least in regions on its top and / or bottom. This can be done for example by means of a support surface and a locking hook on the connector. This advantageously enables simple locking of the plug in the axial direction with respect to the longitudinal axis of the contacts or the longitudinal axis of the pressure regulator.
  • a locking hook is provided, for example. struck, which is resiliently mounted on the plug. This latching hook can be latched to the end face of the inner circular contact by pushing the plug onto the contact in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the contact.
  • the latching hook also has a recess which is designed and arranged such that the adjusting means, for example an adjusting screw, which is located in the interior of the round contact, is freely accessible from the end face of the round contact when the plug is pushed on.
  • This recess can advantageously be designed as a bore through which the head of the set screw can be easily reached even after the plug has been put on.
  • the electrical plug connection in a modular design, with several electrical components, for example several pressure regulators, forming a contact strip, which can be connected to a plug strip having a plurality of plugs.
  • several electrical components for example pressure regulators, are arranged equidistantly next to one another in a common housing, the latching lugs on the connector or the connector strip for locking the individual connectors in the circumferential direction advantageously being omitted, since the connector strip is supported on the contact strip and the individual plugs are thus already locked in the circumferential direction.

  • the plug 17 is arranged in a position locked with the pressure regulator 10 in such a way that its main direction of extension is essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 21 of the pressure regulator 10.
  • a spring-mounted latching hook 19 is arranged on the plug 17 and, when the plug 17 is slid onto the contacts 12 and 13, latches in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 21 with the inner circular contact 12, the latching hook 19 being released from the connector 11 to release it Round contact 12 raised and the connector 17 can be pushed off to the side.
  • the ring gear 15 (Fig. 2) is provided on its outer circumference with equidistant notches 23.
  • the plug 17 is pushed onto the ring gear 15 in the radial direction, so that the latching hook 19 covers the inner circular contact and the recess 22 is arranged centrally in the latching hook 19 above the round contact 12.

  • the U-shaped recess of the contact 26 is dimensioned such that the outer plug contact 26 just engages around the outer round contact 13 on the pressure regulator 10 and clamps it.
  • the inner plug contact 25 (FIG. 6) is also designed as a U-shaped plug contact, the recess of which is formed so that the inner plug contact 25 encompasses and clamps the inner circular contact 12.
  • the inner round contact 12 contains a set screw 28 which is slotted at its head end, which passes through the inner round contact 12 in the axial direction and extends into the pressure regulator 10.
  • a valve housing 29 contains a plurality of pressure regulators 30 which are arranged equidistantly from one another in a line.

It is advantageous ⁇ adhesive enough, a detent 24 is shown for locking the plug in the circumferential direction as shown in Fig. 4 is not required, since the connector 32 is supported on the contact strip 31 through the system a plurality of plug 33 at a plurality of pressure regulators 30 and thereby a locking of the Plug is made in the circumferential direction.
