Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen winkelförmiger Steckerträger zum Anbau an ein Aggregategehäuse gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to an angle-shaped plug carrier for attachment to an aggregate housing according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein derartiger, mit einer Rasteinrichtung ausgestatteter winkelförmiger Steckerträger ist insbesondere aus der DE-OS 195 20 544 bekannt, gemäß der vorgesehen ist, daß in im Sockelteil und im diesem zugeordneten Schenkel des winkelförmigen Trägerteiles im Bereich ihres gegenseitigen Übergriffes vorgesehenen, gegensinnig gerichteten, umlaufenden und in ihrem Ausnehmungsgrund eine Art Verzahnung bildenden Vorsprüngen ausgestatten Nutausnehmungen ein in radialer Richtung federnd elastisch ausgebildetes, entlang seines Innen-oder Außenumfanges eine von der reinen Kreisform abweichende Grundrißform aufweisendes und mit den Vorsprüngen im Ausnehmungsgrund zusammenwirkendes Verbindungsteil angeordnet ist, welches zumindest in einer vorgesehenen Verwirklichungsform durch eine Wellfeder gebildet sein kann und im Zusammenwirken mit den Vorsprüngen im Ausnehmungsgrund eine Verrastung von Sockelteil und winkelförmigem Trägerteil in einer Anzahl frei wählbarer Verschwenkstellungen ermöglicht. Bei dieser Ausbildung der Verbindung zwischen feststehendem Sockelteil und diesem gegenüber um seine Achse schwenkbeweglichem winkelförmigen Trägerteil bildet ein einziges Teil, nämlich die Wellfeder, einerseits die abzugssichere Verbindung zwischen Sockel-und Trägerteil und andererseits zugleich auch die überwindbare gegenseitige Verdrehsicherung bzw. Verrastung von Sockelteil und Trägerteil in einer ausgewählten Verdrehstellung. Um diese beiden der Verbindung zwischen Sockelteil und Trägerteil zukommenden Aufgaben erfüllen zu können ist bei dem bekannten Steckerträger einerseits eine sorgfältige Gestaltung der Wellfeder und andererseits eine präzise Ausbildung wenigstens der in ihrem Ausnehmungsgrund die die Rastmarken oder dergl. bildenden radialen Vorsprünge aufweisenden Nutausnehmung erforderlich, was einerseits einen verhältnismäßig hohen Herstellungsaufwand erfordert und andererseits zugleich auch eine nicht unbeträchtliche Erschwerung im Zusammenbau des Steckerträgers mit sich bringt.Such, equipped with a latch angular plug carrier is known in particular from DE-OS 195 20 544, according to which it is provided that provided in the base part and in this associated leg of the angular support member in the region of their mutual grip, oppositely directed, circumferential and in their Ausnehmungsgrund a kind of toothing projections provide Nutausnehmungen a resiliently elastically formed in the radial direction, along its inner or outer circumference deviating from the pure circular plan Grundrißform exhibiting and cooperating with the projections in Ausnehmungsgrund connecting part is arranged, which at least in a proposed realization form by a corrugated spring may be formed and in conjunction with the projections in the recess base latching of base part and angular support member in a number of freely selectable pivoting positions he made possible. In this embodiment of the connection between the fixed base part and this angular support member pivotable relative to its axis forms a single part, namely the corrugated spring, on the one hand the trigger-safe connection between base and carrier part and on the other hand at the same time also the surmountable mutual rotation or latching of the base part and carrier part in a selected rotational position. In order to meet these two of the connection between the base part and support part tasks is required in the known plug carrier on the one hand careful design of the wave spring and a precise training at least in their recess base the latching marks or the like. Forming radial projections having groove recess, which on the one hand requires a relatively high production cost and on the other hand at the same time brings a not inconsiderable difficulty in the assembly of the connector carrier with it.

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde einen winkelförmigen Steckerträger der eingangs bezeichneten Bauart dahingehend zu verbessern, daß er bei geringerem Herstellungsaufwand und einer den Anforderungen der Praxis gerecht werdenden Anzahl von verrastbaren Verschwenkstellungen zwischen Sockelteil und Trägerteil gegen ein unbeabsichtigtes Verstellen einer eingestellten Schwenkwinkellage durch leichtes Berühren oder auch unter dem Einfluß von bei Maschinenaggregaten unvermeidlichen Vibrationen hinreichend gesichert ist.Based on this state of the art, the present invention seeks to improve an angle-shaped connector support of the type described in that it with a lower production cost and the requirements of practice expectant number of latchable pivoting positions between the base part and support member against unintentional adjustment of a set Swivel angle position is sufficiently secured by light touch or under the influence of unavoidable in machine tools vibrations.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem winkelförmigen Steckerträger der eingangs aufgezeigten Bauart erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnen den Teiles des Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention in an angular connector carrier of the type indicated by the features of characterizing the part of claim 1.

Die Erfindung zeichnet sich somit auf der einen Seite durch eine Trennung der Funktionen einer axialen Abzugssicherung und einer Rasteinrichtung zur überwindbaren gegenseitigen Festlegung von Sockelteil und Trägerteil und auf der anderen Seite gleichzeitig durch eine Begrenzung der möglichen verrasteten Verschwenkstellungen auf die im jeweiligen Anwendungsfall des Steckerträgers tatsächlich nutzbare Anzahl aus, mit der Folge einer vergleichsweise günstigen Herstellbarkeit der Einzelteile und eines vereinfachten Zusammenbaues des Steckerträgers. Darüber hinaus besteht dabei in vorteilhafter Weise die Möglichkeit die Höhe der Federlast so einzustellen, daß eine gegenseitige Verdrehung von Sokkel-und Trägerteil zwar noch von Hand, vorzugsweise aber mittels eines Werkzeuges bewerkstelligt werden kann, in jedem Falle aber eine ungewollte selbsttätige Änderung der Schwenkwinkellage des Trägerteiles gegenüber dem Sockelteil unter dem Einfluß von bei Maschinenaggregaten unvermeidlichen Vibrationen oder aber auch infolge ungewollter leichterer Berührungen, wie sie beim Umgang mit maschinellen Einrichtungen oder Installationen, beispielsweise als steifende Berührung oder dergl., nun einmal vorkommen, ausgeschlossen ist. In dieser Hinsicht zeichnet sich die erfindungsgemäße Verrastung infolge des Zusammenwirkens ebener Flächenpaare und damit durch eine verhältnismäßig hohe Rastkraft aus.The invention is thus characterized on the one hand by a separation of the functions of an axial trigger safety device and a locking device for surmountable mutual fixing of base part and carrier part and on the other side at the same time by limiting the possible latched pivoting positions on the actual use of the plug carrier in the particular application Number from, with the result of a comparatively low manufacturability of the items and a simplified assembly of the connector carrier. Moreover, it is advantageously possible to adjust the height of the spring load so that a mutual rotation of Sokkel and support member may still be accomplished by hand, but preferably by means of a tool, but in any case an unwanted automatic change in the pivot angle position of Carrier part relative to the base part under the influence of unavoidable in machine tools vibrations or due to unwanted lighter touches, as they occur when dealing with mechanical devices or installations, such as stiff contact or the like., Now, is excluded. In this respect, the latching according to the invention is characterized by the interaction of planar pairs of surfaces and thus by a relatively high latching force.

Unter Einbeziehung der Offenbarung der an sich offensichtlichen Möglichkeit einer Umkehrung der Anordnung von in radialer Richtung federnd abgestützter und starrer Rastfläche sieht eine bevorzugte Verwirklichungsform vor, daß die im Bereich der Überdeckung des einen Schenkels des winkelförmigen Trägerteiles mit dem Sockelteil angeordnete Rasteinrichtung wenigstens zwei tangential zu seinem Außenumfang ausgebildete starre und ebene Rastflächen aufweist, denen eine entsprechende Anzahl im Innenumfang des Schenkels des Trägerteiles angeordneter, entgegen einer Federlast radial beweglicher, gleichfalls ebener Flächen zugeordnet ist.Taking into account the disclosure of the obvious possibility of reversing the arrangement of resiliently supported and rigid locking surface in the radial direction provides a preferred realization form that arranged in the region of the overlap of the one leg of the angular support member with the base part latching at least two tangential to his External circumference formed rigid and flat locking surfaces, which is assigned a corresponding number in the inner circumference of the leg of the support member arranged against a spring load radially movable, also flat surfaces.

Zwar ist es in vielen Anwendungsfällen vollkommen ausreichend, wenn das winkelförmige Trägerteil in lediglich zwei zueinander um 180° verdrehten Stellungen gegenüber dem Sockelteil verrastbar ist, jedoch kann es im Interesse eine Verringerung der Typenvielfalt und damit Optimierung der Lagerhaltung von besonderem Vorteil sein, wenn das winkelförmige Trägerteil in vier unterschiedlichen, insbesondere jeweils um 90° gegeneinander verdrehten Stellungen gegenüber dem Sockelteil verrastbar ist, wozu nach einer bevorzugten Verwirklichungsform vorgesehen ist, daß die Rasteinrichtung eine gerade Anzahl, insbesondere acht, in gleichmäßiger Anordnung ausgebildeter Paare von ebenen und zur Erzeugung einer Rastkraft miteinander zusammenwirkenden Flächen umfaßt.
In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung dieser Verwirklichungsform kann dann weiter vorgesehen sein, daß sämtliche am Außenumfang des Sockelteiles und sämtliche im Innenumfang des Schenkels des Trägerteiles ausgebildeten ebenen Flächen untereinander jeweils gleich groß ausgebildet sind, wodurch die Herstellung der beteiligten Teile vereinfacht wird.
Although it is perfectly sufficient in many applications, when the angle-shaped support member in only two rotated by 180 ° to each other positions the base part is latched, but it may be in the interest of reducing the variety of types and thus optimizing the storage of particular advantage when the angle-shaped support member in four different, in particular each 90 ° against each other rotated positions relative to the base part is latched, including a preferred Realization form is provided, that the locking device comprises an even number, in particular eight, formed in a uniform arrangement pairs of planar and mutually cooperating surfaces for generating a detent force.
In an advantageous embodiment of this realization form can then be further provided that all the outer circumference of the base part and all in the inner circumference of the leg of the support member formed flat surfaces are each formed equal to each other, whereby the production of the parts involved is simplified.

Insbesondere ist in einer vorteilhaften weiteren Ausgestaltung der bevorzugten Verwirklichungsform vorgesehen, daß die gegen Federlast radial beweglichen ebenen Flächen durch Blattfederabschnitte gebildet und radial gerichtete nutenförmige Ausnehmungen überbrückend in dem sie aufnehmenden Teil, insbesondere in dem winkelförmigen Schenkels des Trägerteiles, angeordnet sind. Soweit die Blattfederabschnitte jeweils als Einzelteile ausgebildet und voneinander unabhängig in die nutenförmigen Ausnehmungen eingesetzt sind, weisen die nutenförmigen Ausnehmungen zweckmäßigerweise beidseitig und parallel zu ihrer Längserstrekkung ausgerichtete, Abstützflächen für die Seitenränder der Blattfederabschnitte bildende Stützbereiche auf.
Insbesondere in Verbindung mit der Anwendung von als Einzelteile ausgebildeten und voneinander unabhängig in die nutenförmigen Ausnehmungen eingesetzten Blattfederabschnitten ergibt sich eine weitere, für die Realisierung einer durch das Zusammenwirken von Flächenpaarungen gekennzeichneten Verrastung von Sokkelteil und Trägerteil vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungsform im Weiteren dadurch, daß die die gegen Federlast radial beweglichen ebenen Flächen bildenden Blattfederabschnitte im unbelasteten Zustand jeweils eine der Gegenfläche zugewandte Vorspannungswölbung aufweisen.
In particular, it is provided in an advantageous further embodiment of the preferred realization form that the radially movable against spring load flat surfaces formed by leaf spring sections and radially directed groove-shaped recesses bridging in which they receiving part, in particular in the angular leg of the support member are arranged. As far as the leaf spring portions are each formed as individual parts and are used independently in the groove-shaped recesses, the groove-shaped recesses expediently on both sides and parallel to their Längserstrekkung aligned, supporting surfaces for the side edges of the leaf spring portions forming support areas.
In particular, in connection with the use of trained as individual parts and independently inserted into the groove-shaped recesses leaf spring sections results in another, for the realization of a characterized by the interaction of surface pairing locking of Sokkelteil and support advantageous embodiment further characterized in that the against spring load radially movable flat surfaces forming leaf spring sections in the unloaded state, each having a bias surface facing the counter surface.

In einer bei einer Vielzahl von vorgesehenen möglichen Raststellungen aufweisenden Verrastung für die Verschwenkstellungen von Sockelteil und Trägerteil eine Vereinfachung im Zusammenbau zu erreichen, kann gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltungsform vorgesehen sein, daß die die gegen Federlast radial beweglichen wenigstens ebenen Flächen bildenden Blattfederabschnitte untereinander über Stege zu einem insgesamt eine regelmäßig polygone Grundrißform aufweisenden Körper verbunden sind.
Dies ermöglicht auf der einen Seite eine simultane Montage sämtlicher für eine beliebige Vielzahl von Raststellungen erforderlicher Blattfedern und auf der anderen Seite eine optimale Abstützung der einzelnen Blattfederabschnitte an dem sie tragenden Teil des winkelförmigen Steckerträgers.
In one of a plurality of provided possible locking positions having locking for the pivoting positions of the base part and support part to achieve a simplification in the assembly can be provided according to a further embodiment that the spring load radially movable at least flat surfaces forming leaf spring sections with each other via webs to a Overall, a regular polygonal planform having body are connected.
This allows on the one hand a simultaneous assembly of all required for any variety of locking positions leaf springs and on the other hand, an optimal support of the individual leaf spring sections on the part carrying them the angular connector carrier.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung kann ferner vorgesehen sein, daß die am Außenumfang des Sockelteiles ausgebildeten starren ebenen Flächen und die sie beabstandenden Zwischenflächen untereinander gleich groß gestaltet sind und insgesamt eine regelmäßig polygone Grundrißform bilden.In a further advantageous embodiment may also be provided that the formed on the outer periphery of the base part rigid flat surfaces and the spacing between them surfaces are designed equal to each other and form a regular polygonal planform.
