Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Steckverbinder für HF-Leitungen nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Ein solcher Steckverbinder ist aus der US-A-4 701 001 bekannt.The present invention relates to a connector for RF lines according to the preamble of claim 1. Such Connector is known from US-A-4 701 001.

Steckverbinder nach der Art einer Schneidklemmverbindung, die über Schneiden mit einem Leiter Kontakt herstellen, um beispielsweise ein Signal von dem Leiter abzunehmen, oder aber um zwei Leiter über eine solche Steckverbindung mit einander zu verbinden, sind bekannt. Solche bekannten Steckverbinder werden überall dort eingesetzt, wo es erforderlich ist, eine kostengünstige Lösung zu schaffen, um eine elektrisch leitende Verbindung zwischen dem Steckverbinder und dem Leiter herzustellen.Connectors in the manner of an insulation displacement connection that Make contact with a conductor by cutting, for example take a signal from the conductor, or else by two conductors with each other via such a connector to connect are known. Such known connectors are used wherever there is a need Inexpensive solution to create an electrically conductive Establish connection between the connector and the conductor.

Bei einer solchen Steckverbindung wird ganz allgemein über Schneiden aus Metall die Abschirmung der Leitung durchdrungen, bis die Schneiden mit dem Leiter in Kontakt kommen. Auf diese Weise läßt sich beispielsweise eine elektrisch leitende Verbindung zwischen zwei Leitungen herstellen, deren Abschirmungen von den Schneiden der Steckverbindung durchdrungen werden, so daß die beiden Leiter über die Schneiden in elektrischem Kontakt stehen.With such a connector is generally about Metal cuts penetrated the shielding of the line, until the cutting edges come into contact with the conductor. On in this way, for example, an electrically conductive one Establish connection between two lines, their shields penetrated by the cutting edges of the connector be so that the two conductors over the cutting in electrical Are in contact.

Solche Steckverbinder mit Schneidklemmtechnik haben sich bereits bewährt, da sie kostengünstig hergestellt werden können, schnell mit einem Leiter kontaktiert werden können und zudem in der Regel einen guten elektrischen Kontakt erzeugen.Such connectors with insulation displacement technology have already been developed proven because they can be manufactured inexpensively, can be contacted quickly with a conductor and also generally create good electrical contact.

Es ist auch bereits ein Steckverbinder für HF-Leitungen bekannt geworden, bei dem ein Schneidenpaar so angeordnet ist, daß sich die Stirnflächen der beiden Schneiden genau gegenüber stehen, sich das Schneidenpaar also bezüglich der HF-Leitung in einer Ebene angeordnet befindet. Solche HF-Leitungen werden dort eingesetzt, wo große Mengen an Daten oder Signalen zu übertragen sind, die zu entsprechend hohen Frequenzen auf dem Leiter führen.A connector for HF lines is also already known in which a pair of cutting edges is arranged that the end faces of the two cutting edges face each other exactly stand, so the pair of cutting edges with respect to the HF line arranged in a plane. Such RF lines are used where large amounts of data or signals to be transmitted, which are correspondingly high Lead frequencies on the conductor.

Ein Anwendungsgebiet für solche HF-Leitungen ist auch die Automobiltechnik, bei der für Audiosysteme, multimediale Anwendungen aus dem Bereich der Kommunikation oder der Navigation große Datenmengen und Wellensignale zu übertragen sind.An area of application for such RF lines is also automotive engineering, for audio systems, multimedia applications from the field of communication or navigation large amounts of data and wave signals are to be transmitted.

Aufgrund der von der Fahrdynamik eines Automobils stammenden Kräfte durch Vibrationen und Erschütterungen wird auch ein solcher Steckverbinder entsprechenden Kräften ausgesetzt, die zum Lösen des Kontakts zwischen den Schneiden und dem Leiter führen. Diese Gefahr des Lösens der Verbindung zwischen den Schneiden und dem Leiter wird noch aufgrund der beim Kraftfahrzeug häufig auftretenden hohen Temperaturschwankungen deutlich erhöht, da diese Temperaturschwankungen zu unterschiedlichen Ausdehnungen der Schneiden und des Leiters führen.Because of the driving dynamics of an automobile Forces from vibrations and shocks will also be a such connectors exposed to corresponding forces for releasing the contact between the cutting edges and the conductor to lead. This risk of loosening the connection between the Cutting and the head is still due to the motor vehicle frequently occurring high temperature fluctuations significantly increased because these temperature fluctuations differed Extend the cutting edges and the conductor.

So kann es aufgrund von verschiedenen Ausdehnungskoeffizienten des Leiters und der Schneiden zu einer Verschiebung der Schneiden bezüglich des Leiters kommen, wodurch der Übergangswiderstand verändert wird und es so zu verschiedenen Potentialen oder Fehlkontakten kommen kann. Das vom Leiter abgegriffene Signal wird verfälscht.So it may be due to different coefficients of expansion of the conductor and the cutting to shift the Cutting edges come with respect to the conductor, reducing the contact resistance is changed and so it leads to different potentials or incorrect contacts can occur. The one tapped by the conductor Signal is falsified.

Der Erfindung liegt daher zur Beseitigung der geschilderten Nachteile die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Steckverbinder zu schaffen, der unter grundsätzlicher Beibehaltung der Schneidklemmtechnik eine auch bei Temperaturschwankungen und Schwingungen unveränderte Kontaktierung mit dem Leiter zuläßt.The invention is therefore to eliminate the described Disadvantages the task of a connector create that while basically maintaining the insulation displacement technology one even with temperature fluctuations and vibrations allows unchanged contact with the conductor.

Die Erfindung weist zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe die im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale auf. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen hiervon sind in den weiteren Ansprüchen beschrieben.The invention has to achieve this object in the claim 1 specified characteristics. Advantageous configurations of these are described in the further claims.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Erkenntnis zugrunde, daß es bei der Schneidklemmverbindung zwischen den Schneiden und dem Leiter zu einer Kaltschweißverbindung kommt und diese Verbindung bei einer Relativbewegung zwischen den Schneiden und dem Leiter aufgrund des sich einstellenden Spaltraumes zwischen den Schneiden und dem Leiter gestört wird. Es entsteht ein Luftspalt, der den elektrischen Widerstand an der Kontaktstelle zwischen den Schneiden und dem Leiter verändert. An der Kontaktstelle kommt es zu Potentialendifferenzen.The present invention is based on the finding that it with the insulation displacement connection between the cutting edges and the conductor comes to a cold weld connection and this Connection with a relative movement between the cutting edges and the conductor due to the gap gap that arises between the cutting edges and the conductor. It arises an air gap that shows the electrical resistance at the Contact point between the cutting edges and the conductor changed. There are potential differences at the contact point.

Nach der Erfindung ist daher ein Steckverbinder für HF-Leitungen zur Kontaktierung des Außenleiters der HF-Leitung mittels einer Schneidklemmverbindung mit mindestens einem Paar gegenüberliegender Schneiden vorgesehen, bei dem die Schneiden einander gegenüberliegend in Axiallängsrichtung des Außenleiters versetzt angeordnet sind. Bei der HF-Leitung handelt es sich um ein Koaxialkabel.According to the invention is therefore a connector for RF lines for contacting the outer conductor of the HF line by means of an insulation displacement connection with at least one Pair of opposing cutting edges provided, in which the Cutting opposite each other in the axial longitudinal direction of the Outer conductor are arranged offset. With the HF line it is a coaxial cable.

Unter dem Begriff der gegenüberliegenden und versetzten Anordnung der Schneiden ist im Sinne der Erfindung zu verstehen, daß sich die Schneiden zwar an der HF-Leitung grundsätzlich einander gegenüberliegend angeordnet befinden, die Schneiden aber im Gegensatz zum bekannten Steckverbinder nicht Stirnfläche an Stirnfläche angeordnet sind, sondern in Axiallängsrichtung des Leiters gesehen hintereinander, d. h. im Abstand zueinander.Under the concept of the opposite and offset arrangement the cutting is to be understood in the sense of the invention, that the cutting edges are basically on the HF line are located opposite each other, the But cutting in contrast to the known connector are not arranged face to face, but in Axial longitudinal direction of the conductor seen one behind the other, d. H. at a distance from each other.

Mit dieser Ausbildung wird erreicht, daß die Schneiden nach dem Durchdringen der Außenisolierung der HF-Leitung mit dem Außenleiter eine Kaltschweißverbindung an der Stirnfläche und an mindestens einer angrenzenden Seitenfläche eingehen. Hierdurch wird die kontaktgebende Fläche zwischen den Schneiden und dem Außenleiter deutlich vergrößert.This training ensures that the cutting after penetration of the external insulation of the HF line with the Outer conductor a cold welded connection on the face and on at least one adjacent side surface. hereby becomes the contact surface between the cutting edges and significantly enlarged the outer conductor.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist es vorgesehen, daß der Steckverbinder mehrere Schneidenpaare aufweist, die zu einer in Axiallängsrichtung des Außenleiters rechtwinklig verlaufenden Ebene symmetrisch angeordnet sind. Mit dieser Ausbildung wird erreicht, daß die HF-Leitung zwischen den Schneiden des Steckverbinders bei der Herstellung der Schneidklemmverbindung nicht mit einer in Axiallängsrichtung des Außenleiters verlaufenden und zu einer Scherung der Leitung führenden Zugkraft beaufschlagt wird, sondern zwischen den Schneiden geringfügig gestaucht wird.According to a development of the invention, it is provided that the connector has several pairs of cutting edges, which too one at right angles in the axial longitudinal direction of the outer conductor extending plane are arranged symmetrically. With this Training is achieved that the RF line between the Cutting the connector in the manufacture of the Insulation displacement connection not with one in the axial longitudinal direction of the outer conductor and to shear the line leading tensile force is applied, but between the blades are slightly compressed.

Der Steckverbinder kann mehrere Schneidenpaare aufweisen, die zu einer entlang der Axiallängsrichtung des Außenleiters verlaufenden Ebene symmetrisch angeordnet sind, so daß eine zu beiden Ebenen spiegelsymmetrische Ausbildung des Steckverbinders ermöglicht wird, so daß nur eine Hälfte des Steckverbinders hergestellt werden muß und zwei Hälften über die Schneiden ineinander gesteckt werden können, um den Steckverbinder zu bilden.The connector can have several pairs of cutting edges to one running along the axial longitudinal direction of the outer conductor Level are arranged symmetrically so that one too two levels of mirror-symmetrical design of the connector is made possible, so that only half of the connector must be made and two halves over the cutting can be plugged into each other to make the connector to build.

Die vergrößerte Kontaktfläche zwischen den Schneiden und dem Leiter führt dazu, daß die Schneiden bei einer Änderung des Abstandes ihrer Stirnflächen zueinander am Außenleiter ohne Bildung eines Spaltraumes zwischen Außenleiter und Schneiden gleiten, da die Gleitfläche weitgehend von der Seitenfläche der jeweiligen Schneide gebildet wird.The increased contact area between the cutting edges and the Head causes the blades to change when the Distance of their end faces to each other on the outer conductor Formation of a gap between the outer conductor and the cutting edge slide as the sliding surface largely from the side surface the respective cutting edge is formed.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Diese zeigt in:

  • Fig. 1 in einer perspektivischen Ansicht einen bekannten Steckverbinder;
  • Fig. 2 den Steckverbinder nach Fig. 1 in einer schematischen Darstellung von der Seite;
  • Fig. 3 einen Steckverbinder nach der Erfindung in einer perspektivischen Ansicht;
  • Fig. 4 den Steckverbinder nach Fig. 3 in einer schematischen Darstellung von der Seite; und
  • Fig. 5 in einer Ansicht von vorne, die zeigt, wie der Außenleiter zwischen den Schneiden des Steckverbinders geklemmt wird.
  • The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. This shows in:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a known connector.
  • Fig. 2 shows the connector of Figure 1 in a schematic representation from the side.
  • 3 shows a connector according to the invention in a perspective view;
  • Fig. 4 shows the connector of Figure 3 in a schematic representation from the side. and
  • Fig. 5 is a front view showing how the outer conductor is clamped between the cutting edges of the connector.
  • Fig. 1 und Fig. 2 der Zeichnung zeigen einen bekannten Steckverbinder 1 mit Schneiden 2, die stirnseitig aufeinander stehend angeordnet sind.Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 of the drawing show a known connector 1 with cutting edges 2, standing on top of each other are arranged.

    Der Steckverbinder 1 besitzt eine weitgehend rechteckig ausgebildete Basisplatte 4, an deren Längsseiten jeweils Laschen 5 angeformt sind, so daß der Steckverbinder 1 in einer Ansicht von vorne eine U-förmige Konfiguration besitzt. Die beiden Schenkel der so gebildeten U-förmigen Anordnung werden dabei von den Laschen 5 gebildet, die die HF-Leitung 3 umgreifen.The connector 1 has a largely rectangular shape Base plate 4, on the long sides of each tab 5 are formed so that the connector 1 in one view has a U-shaped configuration from the front. The both legs of the U-shaped arrangement thus formed thereby formed by the tabs 5 which encompass the HF line 3.

    Wie es näher anhand von Fig. 2 der Zeichnung ersichtlich ist, verlaufen die Schneiden 2 des Steckverbinders 1 in jeweils einer Ebene, so daß der zwischen den Schneiden 2 geklemmte Außenleiter 8 nur von den jeweiligen Stirnflächen der Schneiden 2 erfaßt wird, so daß es bei einer beispielsweise aufgrund einer Temperaturschwankung auftretenden Änderung des Abstandes zwischen den Schneiden 2 zu einem Spaltraum in der Kontaktfläche zwischen den Schneiden 2 und dem Außenleiter 8 kommt und Potentialendifferenzen oder Fehlkontakte die Folge sind.As can be seen in more detail with reference to FIG. 2 of the drawing, the cutting edges 2 of the connector 1 run in each case one level, so that the clamped between the cutting edges 2 Outer conductor 8 only from the respective end faces of the cutting edges 2 is detected so that it is due to, for example a change in temperature occurring Distance between the cutting edges 2 to a gap in the Contact surface between the cutting edges 2 and the outer conductor 8 comes and potential differences or faulty contacts the result are.

    Fig. 3 und Fig. 4 der Zeichnung zeigen einen Steckverbinder 9 gemäß der Erfindung, der weitgehend ähnlich dem bekannten Steckverbinder 1 ausgebildet ist und daher in vorteilhafter Weise mit bereits vorhandenem Werkzeug geklemmt werden kann.3 and 4 of the drawing show a connector 9 according to the invention, which is largely similar to the known Connector 1 is formed and therefore advantageous Can be clamped with existing tools.

    Ein bedeutender Unterschied zwischen dem bekannten Steckverbinder 1 nach Fig. 1 und Fig. 2 und dem erfindungsgemäßen Steckverbinder 9 nach Fig. 3 und Fig. 4 besteht allerdings darin, daß sich - wie dies deutlich anhand von Fig. 4 ersichtlich ist - die Schneiden 2 nicht stirnseitig aufeinander angeordnet befinden, sondern in Axiallängsrichtung des Leiters 3 versetzt verlaufen.A significant difference between the known connector 1 according to FIGS. 1 and 2 and the invention Plug connector 9 according to FIGS. 3 and 4 exists, however in that - as can be clearly seen from FIG. 4 is - the cutting edges 2 do not face each other arranged, but in the axial longitudinal direction of the conductor 3 run offset.

    Von der Basisplatte 4 des Steckverbinders 9 erstrecken sich Laschen 5 zur Bildung einer weitgehend U-förmigen Konfiguration des Steckverbinders 9 und umgreifen die HF-Leitung 3. Von den Laschen 5 erstrecken sich in einem Winkel weitgehend rechtwinklig zur Axiallängsrichtung des Leiters 3 die Schneiden 2 in Richtung zum Innenleiter 6 (siehe Fig. 5) und durchdringen dabei die Außenisolierung 7 des Leiters 3 und klemmen und verquetschen den Außenleiter 8.Extend from the base plate 4 of the connector 9 Tabs 5 to form a largely U-shaped configuration of the connector 9 and embrace the RF line 3rd Extensively extend from the tabs 5 at an angle the cutting edges at right angles to the axial longitudinal direction of the conductor 3 2 in the direction of the inner conductor 6 (see FIG. 5) and penetrate the outer insulation 7 of the conductor 3 and clamp and squeeze the outer conductor 8.

    Wie es dabei näher aus Fig. 4 ersichtlich ist, kommt es aufgrund der axial versetzten Anordnung der Schneiden 2 nicht nur zu einem Kontakt zwischen den jeweiligen Stirnflächen 10 der Schneiden 2 und dem Außenleiter 8, sondern auch zu einem flächigen Kontakt zwischen den Seitenflächen 11 der Schneiden 2 und dem Außenleiter 8.As can be seen in more detail from FIG. 4, it is due to the axially offset arrangement of the cutting edges 2 is not only for contact between the respective end faces 10 the cutting edge 2 and the outer conductor 8, but also to one flat contact between the side surfaces 11 of the cutting edges 2 and the outer conductor 8.

    Dieser flächige Kontakt führt dazu, daß es auch bei einer Abstandsänderung der Schneiden 2 zueinander nicht zur Bildung eines Spaltraumes im Kontaktflächenbereich kommt, sondern die Schneiden 2 auf dem Außenleiter 8, der bei einem Koaxialkabel aus einem Schirmgeflecht besteht, gleiten und somit keine Änderung des Übergangswiderstandes erfolgt.This flat contact leads to the fact that there is also a change in distance the cutting 2 to each other not to form of a gap in the contact area area, but the Cut 2 on the outer conductor 8 of a coaxial cable consists of a braid, slide and therefore no change the contact resistance occurs.

    Wie es darüber hinaus leicht anhand von Fig. 3 ersichtlich ist, weist der Steckverbinder 9 an den Längsseiten seiner Basisplatte 4 jeweils zwei Laschen 5 auf, die Schneidenpaare mit unterschiedlichen axialen Abständen a, b der Schneiden 2 besitzen.As can also be easily seen from FIG. 3 is, the connector 9 on the long sides of its base plate 4 two tabs 5 each, the pairs of cutting edges with different axial distances a, b of the cutting edges 2 have.

    Der Steckverbinder 9 kann aus zwei Hälften zusammengesetzt werden, wobei eine aus einem Blechteil gefertigte Hälfte mit einer weiteren Hälfte zum Steckverbinder 9 zusammengesetzt werden kann, indem die Schneidenpaare einander übergreifend angeordnet werden. Zu diesem Zweck besitzen die Laschen 5 Aufnahmen 12, in die Rastnasen 13 der jeweils anderen Steckverbinderhälfte eingreifen und einrasten können. Diese Ausbildung kommt dem Erfordernis einer kostengünstigen Ausbildung für die Massenfertigung besonders entgegen.The connector 9 can be composed of two halves be, with a half made from a sheet metal part with another half assembled to the connector 9 can be made by overlapping the cutting pairs to be ordered. For this purpose, the tabs 5 Recordings 12, in the locking lugs 13 of the other connector half can intervene and snap into place. This training meets the need for inexpensive training especially for mass production.

    Die vorstehend beschriebene Ausführungsform gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung dient der Erläuterung, nicht aber der Beschränkung halber. Demgemäß kann die Erfindung anhand anderer Ausführungsformen ausgeführt werden, ohne aber von der Erfindung abzuweichen.The above-described embodiment according to the present Invention serves to illustrate, but not to limit . half Accordingly, the invention can be others Embodiments are carried out without, however, of the invention departing.

    Die Erfindung ist anhand eines Ausführungsbeispieles zum Verbinden zweier Koaxialleitungen beschrieben worden. Im Rahmen der Erfindung liegt selbstverständlich auch eine Ausführungsform, bei der ein Stecker (Buchsen- oder Stiftstecker) mit der erfindungsgemäßen Schneidenanordnung mit dem Leiter verbunden wird.The invention is based on an embodiment for connecting two coaxial lines have been described. As part of the invention is of course also an embodiment with a plug (socket or pin plug) the cutting arrangement according to the invention connected to the conductor becomes.
