Abstract

The invention relates to a plug-in connector comprising a plug and a plug socket with a shroud (1), which serves to connect a cable containing a plurality of signal lines and current supply lines to a consumer, for example the electronic regulator of a motor vehicle control system. The inside of the plug-in connector is constituted by a water-tight housing in which the contacts of the plug engage the connecting contacts of the plug socket (2-6) when the plug and plug socket are assembled. According to the invention intermediate walls (7, 8) divide the interior of the housing into at least three spaces which are separated from each other in a liquid-tight manner. At least one of said spaces is provided for the signal line contacts (6) and at least one space each for current supply contacts having the same electrical potential (2, 3; 4, 5). The current supply contacts are arranged on the end faces of the plug-in connector such that they are separated according to their electrical potential.

Description

Steckverbindung zum Anschluß von Signal- und Stromversorgungsleitungen an einen VerbraucherPlug connection for connecting signal and power supply lines to a consumer
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine im wesentlichen aus einem Stecker und einer Steckeraufnahme bestehenden Steckverbindung zum Anschluß eines Kabels, das eine Vielzahl von Signalleitungen und Stromversorgungsleitungen enthält, an einen Verbraucher, z.B. an den elektornischen Regler eines Kfz. -Regelungssystems, wie ABS, ASR, ESP etc., wobei die Kontakte des Steckers mit den Anschlußkontakten der Stekkeraufnahme im Inneren eines wasserdichten Gehäuses im Eingriff sind.The invention relates to a plug connection consisting essentially of a plug and a plug receptacle for connecting a cable, which contains a multiplicity of signal lines and power supply lines, to a consumer, e.g. to the electronic controller of a motor vehicle. -Control system, such as ABS, ASR, ESP etc., wherein the contacts of the plug are engaged with the connection contacts of the plug receptacle inside a watertight housing.
Steckverbindungen dieser Art sind bekannt. Wenn z.B. die Steckverbindung im Motorraum eines Kraftfahrzeugs untergebracht werden soll, ist es unbedingt notwendig, die Kontakte und damit den Innenraum, in dem die Kontakte ineinandergreifen, vor dem Eindringen von Wasser, Öl und Schmutz zu schützen. Zwischen den einzelnen Kontakten, insbesondere zwischen den zur Stromversorgung dienenden Kontakten, die für hohe Ströme ausgelegt sind, könnten sonst Leckströme entstehen, die nicht nur die Funktion der Geräte stören würden, sondern die auch eine gefährliche Erhitzung der Steckverbindung zur Folge haben könnte.Plug connections of this type are known. If e.g. the connector is to be housed in the engine compartment of a motor vehicle, it is absolutely necessary to protect the contacts and thus the interior in which the contacts interlock against the ingress of water, oil and dirt. Leakage currents could otherwise occur between the individual contacts, in particular between the contacts used for power supply, which are designed for high currents, which would not only interfere with the function of the devices, but which could also result in dangerous heating of the plug connection.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Steckverbindung dieser Art derart zu gestalten, daß sie bei relativ einfachem, dennoch robustem Aufbau und hoher mechanischer Belastbarkeit und Widerstandsfähigkeit gegen grobe The invention is therefore based on the object of designing a plug connection of this type in such a way that it has a relatively simple, yet robust construction and high mechanical strength and resistance to rough
Behandlung gegen das Entstehen von Leckströmen gefeit ist. Außerdem sollte es sich um eine leicht schließbare und wieder lösbare Steckverbindung handeln, um den Montageaufwand bei Herstellung des Fahrzeugs und bei der Wartung zu minimieren.Treatment against leakage currents is immune. In addition, it should be an easy-to-close and releasable plug-in connection in order to minimize the assembly effort during manufacture of the vehicle and during maintenance.
Es hat sich gezeigt, daß diese Aufgabe durch die im Anspruch 1 beschriebene Steckverbindung gelöst werden kann, deren Besonderheit darin besteht, daß das Gehäuse durch Zwischenwände in mindestens drei voneinander flüssigkeitsdicht getrennte Räume unterteilt ist, von denen mindestens ein Raum für die Signalleitungskontakte und mindestens ein Raum jeweils für Stromversorgungskontakte gleichen Potentials vorgesehen sind.It has been shown that this object can be achieved by the plug connection described in claim 1, the special feature of which is that the housing is divided by partition walls into at least three separate liquid-tight spaces, of which at least one space for the signal line contacts and at least one Space for power supply contacts of the same potential are provided.
Durch die Aufteilung in mehrere Innenräume mit Hilfe der Zwischenwände wird auf einfache, kostengünstige Weise das Entstehen von gefährlichen Leckströmen unterbunden.The division into several interiors with the help of the partition walls prevents the emergence of dangerous leakage currents in a simple, inexpensive way.
Eine Reihe von vorteilhaften Ausführungsbeispielen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben. So hat es sich als besonders zweckmäßig erwiesen, die Stromversorgungskontakte, über die die Stromversorgung - einerseits nach Masse und andererseits zum Pluspol der Fahrzeugbatterie - hergestellt wird, auf möglichst weit voneinander entfernten Plätzen im Inneren der Steckverbindung anzuordnen, um im Fehlerfall bzw. beim Eindringen von Feuchtigkeit oder Schmutz Leckströmen hohen Widerstand entgegenzusetzen. A number of advantageous exemplary embodiments of the invention are described in the subclaims. So it has proven to be particularly useful to arrange the power supply contacts, via which the power supply is established - on the one hand to ground and on the other hand to the positive pole of the vehicle battery - in the most distant locations inside the plug connection, in order to prevent errors or the penetration of Moisture or dirt to resist leakage currents with high resistance.
Sollte es dennoch zu einer Verschmutzung kommen, ist ein Stromfluß von einem Stromversorgungskontakt zu einem Signalkontakt das kleinere Übel, weil dieser Stromfluß keine Erhitzung des Geräts, sondern höchstens eine Störung zur Folge hätte, die über die üblichen Überwachungs- und Warnsystemen rechtzeitig angezeigt würde.Should contamination nevertheless occur, a current flow from a power supply contact to a signal contact is the lesser evil, because this current flow would not cause the device to heat up, but would at most result in a malfunction, which would be indicated in good time by the usual monitoring and warning systems.
Weitere Einzelheiten der Erfindung gehen aus der beigefügten Abbildung hervor, die in perspektivischer Darstellung eine Steckeraufnahme bzw. einen Steckerkragen, der zur Aufnahme eines Steckers dient, wiedergibt.Further details of the invention can be seen from the attached figure, which shows a perspective view of a connector receptacle or a connector collar that serves to receive a connector.
Mit einem solchen, als Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung dargestellten Stecker wird z.B. der elektronische Regler (ECU) eines Kraftfahrzeug-Regelungssystems elektrisch angeschlossen. Eine solche Steckverbindung ist besonders gefährdet, wenn sich der elektronische Regler im Motorraum des Fahrzeugs befindet.With such a connector, shown as an embodiment of the invention, e.g. the electronic controller (ECU) of a motor vehicle control system is electrically connected. Such a connector is particularly at risk if the electronic controller is located in the engine compartment of the vehicle.
Die Steckergröße ist systemabhängig; eine Erprobung der Erfindung fand anhand von 47poligen und 26poligen Steckverbindungen statt. Der erfindungsgemäße Aufbau ist grundsätzlich auch für andere Größen geeignet und vorteilhaft.The connector size depends on the system; the invention was tested using 47-pin and 26-pin plug connections. The structure according to the invention is in principle also suitable and advantageous for other sizes.
Der dargestellte Steckerkragen 1 ist Teil einer Steckeraufnahme. Der Steckerkragen 1 sitzt auf einem (nicht dargestellten) Reglergehäuse und kann mit diesem gemeinsam hergestellt, z.B. gespritzt werden; die Verwendung eines Vor- spritzlings oder eines entsprechenden vorgefertigen Einlegeteils ist ebenfalls möglich. Von den bisher verwendeten Steckerkragen, die keine Zwischenwände besaßen, unterscheidet sich der erfindungsgemäße Kragen 1 und die erfindungsgemäße Steckverbindung u.a. durch folgende Merkmale:The illustrated connector collar 1 is part of a connector receptacle. The plug collar 1 sits on a (not shown) controller housing and can be produced together with it, for example by injection; it is also possible to use a pre-molded part or a corresponding prefabricated insert. The collar 1 according to the invention and the plug connection according to the invention differ from the previously used plug collars which had no partition walls, inter alia, by the following features:
Die permanent stromführenden "Powerkontakte" das sind die zur Stromversorgung vorgesehenen Kontakte 2,3; 4,5, sind nicht mehr benachbart angeordnet, sondern an den gegenüberliegenden Stirnseiten des Kragens 1 plaziert und von den übrigen Signalkontakten 6 durch querstehende Innenwände 7,8 getrennt. Es entsteht eine Dreiteilung des Innenraums (oder Aufteilung in noch mehrere Innenräume), wodurch im Falle des Eintretens von geringen Mengen von Feuchtigkeit eine elektrische Verbindung von dem Pluspol bzw. dem mit dem Pluspol der Batterie verbundenen Powerkontakt, und dem Minuspol oder der Masse im Steckerkragen und damit die Gefahr eines Kurzschlusses und Brandes verhindert werden.The permanent current-carrying "power contacts" are the contacts 2, 3 provided for the power supply; 4,5, are no longer arranged adjacent, but are placed on the opposite end faces of the collar 1 and separated from the other signal contacts 6 by transverse inner walls 7, 8. The interior is divided into three (or divided into several interior spaces), which means that in the event of small amounts of moisture, an electrical connection from the positive pole or the power contact connected to the positive pole of the battery, and the negative pole or the mass in the connector collar and thus the risk of a short circuit and fire are prevented.
Es befinden sich in dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel jeweils zwei Powerkontakte 2,3; 3,4 gleichen elektrischen Potentials in einer Gruppenanordnung im Inneren eines - nach Aufsetzen des Steckers - geschlossenen Innenraums. Innerhalb dieser Gruppe kann es nicht zu Kurzschlüssen kommen. Da die Powerkontakte verschiedenen Potentials auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten bzw. Stirnseiten oder Längsseiten im Steckerkragen angeordnet sind, wird die Gefahr, daß es zu einem Nebenschluß hohen Stromes kommt, minimiert. Im Steckerkragen befindet sich außerdem bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel eine massive, in Längsrichtung ausgerichtete Kunststoffrippe 9, die folgende Funktionen übernimmt:There are two power contacts 2, 3; 3.4 same electrical potential in a group arrangement in the interior of an interior - after attaching the plug - closed. Short circuits cannot occur within this group. Since the power contacts of different potentials are arranged on opposite sides or end faces or long sides in the plug collar, the risk of a high current being shunted is minimized. In the illustrated embodiment there is also a solid, longitudinally oriented plastic rib 9 in the plug collar, which performs the following functions:
Vorführung des Gegensteckers: Durch die Bauhöhe der Längsrippe 9 wird sichergestellt, daß bei der Montage des Gegensteckers zuerst die Rippe 9 in den Gegenstecker eintaucht. Hierdurch entsteht eine genauere Vorführung; die Findung der Kontakte im Gegenstecker - Stecker und Stecker-Aufnahme - wird erleichtert. Es besteht eine kürzere "Toleranzkette" als bei entsprechenden Steckern ohne solche Führungsrippen.Demonstration of the mating connector: The overall height of the longitudinal rib 9 ensures that when the mating connector is installed, the rib 9 first dips into the mating connector. This creates a more accurate demonstration; finding the contacts in the mating connector - plug and connector receptacle - is made easier. There is a shorter "tolerance chain" than with corresponding plugs without such guide ribs.
Codierung:Encoding:
Durch Anordnung von Aussparungen in der Rippe wird eine Codierung geschaffen; dies erspart Platz an der Außenwand in Längsrichtung im Vergleich zu den bisher üblichen Maßnahmen.A coding is created by arranging cutouts in the rib; this saves space on the outer wall in the longitudinal direction compared to the usual measures.
Montageschutz:Assembly protection:
Ein Montageschutz gegen einen um 180 Grad verdrehten Gegenstecker, da die Rippe 9 auf Längsrichtung des Kragens bezogen außermittig angeordnet ist.Installation protection against a mating connector rotated by 180 degrees, since the rib 9 is arranged off-center in relation to the longitudinal direction of the collar.
Berührungsschutz der Kontakte:Protection against accidental contact:
Durch die Höhe der Längsrippe 9 ist eine Berührung derDue to the height of the longitudinal rib 9 is a touch
Kontakte mit dem Gegenstecker und damit derenContacts with the mating connector and thus their
Beschädigung durch unsachgemäße Behandlung ausgeschlossen. Damage due to improper handling is excluded.
Symmetrische Noppen am Kragen:Symmetrical knobs on the collar:
Durch symmetrische Anordnung von Verriegelungsnoppen 10 an der Außenfläche des Kragens 1 wird die Benutzung von (nicht gezeigten) Gegensteckern ermöglicht, deren Verriegelung konstruktiv alternativ wahlweise von einer der beiden Stirnseiten möglich ist, ohne daß eine Änderung am Steckerkragen notwendig wird. Die Anordnung der Kontakte 2-6 im Steckerkragen 1 erfolgt so, daß verschiedene kundenspezifische Kontaktsysteme zum Einsatz kommen können, ohne den Kragen 1 in der Ausführung ändern zu müssen.The symmetrical arrangement of locking knobs 10 on the outer surface of the collar 1 enables the use of mating connectors (not shown), the locking of which is alternatively possible from one of the two end faces, without a change in the connector collar being necessary. The arrangement of the contacts 2-6 in the plug collar 1 is such that various customer-specific contact systems can be used without having to change the design of the collar 1.
Die Lageposition der Kontakte ist unabhängig von den verwendeten Kontakttypen und ermöglicht eine höhere Standardisierung der verwendeten Leiterplatten in dem Regler. Die Anpassung der Footprint auf der Leiterplatte an die zur Zeit verwendeten kundenspezifischen Stecksysteme mit unterschiedlichen Raster-/Reihen- abständen kann entfallen.The position of the contacts is independent of the contact types used and enables a higher standardization of the printed circuit boards used in the controller. It is no longer necessary to adapt the footprint on the circuit board to the customer-specific plug-in systems currently used with different grid / row spacing.
In dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind, wie beschrieben, an den beiden Stirnseiten jeweils zwei Powerkontakte 2,3; 4,5 vorgesehen, die jeweils auf gleichem Potential liegen, jedoch zu verschiedenen Stromkreisen gehören. Eine solche Aufteilung in mehrere Stromversorgungskontakte (gleichen Potentials) kann auch aus mechanischen Gründen oder zur Begrenzung der Kontaktfläche vorteilhaft oder gar erforderlich sein. In the illustrated embodiment, as described, two power contacts 2, 3; 4.5 are provided, which are each at the same potential, but belong to different circuits. Such a division into several power supply contacts (same potential) can also be advantageous or even necessary for mechanical reasons or to limit the contact area.
