Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Buchse, insbesondere Antennenbuchse, zum Einbau in die Gehäusewand eines elektronischen Gerätes.The invention relates to a socket, in particular antenna socket, for installation in the housing wall of an electronic device.

Ein Antennenkabel besteht aus einer ein Signal führenden Seele, die von einer Abschirmung umgeben ist. Um das Kabel mit einer das Signal verarbeitenden Einrichtung innerhalb eines metallischen Gehäuses zu verbinden, benutzt man eine Buchse-Steckerverbindung, wobei die Buchse in der Gehäusewand angeordnet ist und der Stecker den Abschluss des Kabels bildet. Die Verbindung ist so ausgelegt, dass die Abschirmung mit dem metallischen Gehäuse verbunden, während die Seele isoliert durch die Gehäusewand hindurchgeführt ist. Damit die Buchse leicht montiert werden kann, befindet sie sich auf einer kleinen Grundplatte, die in eine Gehäuseöffnung eingesetzt wird. Dabei wird ein zentraler Stift in der Buchse, der mit der Kabelseele verbunden ist, über eine Klemmschneidverbindung mit der Signal verarbeitenden Einrichtung verbunden.An antenna cable consists of a signal leading soul, which is surrounded by a shield. To connect the cable to a signal processing device within a metallic housing, a female-to-male connection is used, with the female connector disposed in the housing wall and the male connector forming the termination of the cable. The connection is designed so that the shield is connected to the metallic housing while the core is led through the housing wall in isolation. In order for the socket to be easily mounted, it is located on a small base plate, which is inserted into a housing opening. In this case, a central pin in the socket, which is connected to the cable core, connected via a Klemmschneidverbindung with the signal processing device.

Klassischerweise besteht die Buchse aus einer äußeren metallischen Hülse, die mit der Kabelabschirmung verbunden ist, und - wie schon erwähnt - aus einem zentralen Stift, der mit der Seele verbunden ist. Die Hülse bildet damit gleichzeitig das Buchsengehäuse, so dass sie zugleich so ausgelegt sein muss, dass die auf die Verbindung wirkenden mechanischen Kräfte abgefangen werden können. Diese Anordnung hat sich nicht immer als vorteilhaft erwiesen, so dass schon Buchsen vorgeschlagen worden sind und auch zum Einsatz kommen, bei denen das Buchsengehäuse von einer zusätzlichen äußeren Kupplungshülse aus Kunststoff gebildet wird, die mit einer entsprechenden Gegenhülse am Stecker korrespondiert, wobei die Hülsen lediglich die Aufgabe haben, die mechanische Verbindung zwischen Buchse und Stecker herzustellen.Classically, the bushing consists of an outer metallic sleeve which is connected to the cable shield, and - as already mentioned - from a central pin, which is connected to the soul. The sleeve thus forms at the same time the socket housing, so that it must also be designed so that the mechanical forces acting on the connection can be intercepted. This arrangement has not always proved to be advantageous, so that bushings have already been proposed and are also used in which the female housing of a additional outer coupling sleeve made of plastic, which corresponds to a corresponding counter-sleeve on the plug, wherein the sleeves have only the task of producing the mechanical connection between the socket and plug.

Auch bei einem solchen Buchsentyp besteht das Problem, die Buchse in eine Gehäusewand zu integrieren und eine Verbindung zu einer Signal verarbeitenden Einrichtung im Gehäuse herzustellen.Even with such a type of socket, the problem is to integrate the socket in a housing wall and connect to a signal processing device in the housing.

Document DE-A-19823941 offenbart eine Buchse gemäß dem Oberbegrift des Anspruchs 1.Document DE-A-19823941 discloses a socket according to the preamble of claim 1.

Vor allem soll erreicht werden, dass auch bei diesem Buchsentyp die bekannte Schneidklemmverbindung zwischen der Buchse und der Signal verarbeitenden Einrichtung beibehalten werden kann. Dies hätte den Vorteile, dass beide Buchsentypen je nach Anforderung des Kunden eingesetzt werden können, ohne dass das Gehäuse bzw. die Anschlüsse an der Signal verarbeitenden Einrichtung neu konzipiert werden müssten.Above all, it should be achieved that even with this type of socket, the known insulation displacement connection between the socket and the signal processing device can be maintained. This would have the advantage that both types of sockets can be used according to the requirements of the customer, without having to redesign the housing or the connections to the signal processing device.

Zur Lösung dieses Problems schlägt die Erfindung eine Buchse, insbesondere Antennenbuchse, vor, die zum Einbau in die Gehäusewand eines elektronischen Gerätes eine geräteseitige Verbindung zu einer im Gehäuse angeordneten Signalauswerteeinrichtung, eine Abschirmhülse, die, wenn eingebant, mit der Gehäusewand zur Herstellung einer Verbindung mit dem elektrischen Grundpotential verbunden ist, einen das Übertragungssignal führenden und mit der Signalauswerteeinrichtung verbindbaren Zentralstift im Zentrum der Abschirmhülse, und ein Kupplungsstück hat, wobei das Kupplungsstück mit einem entsprechenden Gegenstück eines zur Buchse passenden Steckers korrespondiert und wobei die Abschirmhülse derart mit einer mit der Gehäusewand verbindbaren metallischen Grundplatte verbunden ist, dass das Kupplungsstück zwischen der Abschirmhülse und der Grundplatte gehalten ist.To solve this problem, the invention proposes a socket, in particular antenna socket, for installation in the housing wall of an electronic device, a device-side connection to a arranged in the housing Signalauswerteeinrichtung, a shielding, which, if eingang, with the housing wall for making a connection with connected to the electrical ground potential, a transmission signal leading and connectable to the Signalauswerteeinrichtung central pin in the center of the shielding sleeve, and a coupling piece, wherein the coupling piece with a corresponding counterpart of a socket corresponding to the connector corresponds and wherein the shielding sleeve so connectable with a connectable to the housing wall metallic base plate is connected, that the coupling piece between the shielding sleeve and the base plate is held.

Dadurch, dass die Abschirmhülse so gestaltet ist, dass mit ihrer Befestigung an der Grundplatte gleichzeitig das Kupplungsstück gehalten wird, ergibt sich ein einfacher Aufbau, der eine einfache Herstellung der Buchse gewährleistet.Characterized in that the shielding sleeve is designed so that at the same time the coupling piece is held with its attachment to the base plate, there is a simple structure that ensures easy manufacture of the socket.

In einer besonders einfachen Ausführung ist vorgesehen, dass die Grundplatte eine Öffnung aufweist, dass das Kupplungsstück aus einer einseitig von einem Boden geschlossenen Hülse besteht, wobei der Boden eine mit der Öffnung in der Grundplatte fluchtende Öffnung aufweist, und dass die Abschirmhülse im Abstand vom geräteseitigen Rand einen Absatz aufweist, der an den Boden des Kupplungsstückes anlegbar ist, wobei das geräteseitige Ende der Abschirmhülse als Bördelrand ausgeführt ist, der den Rand der Öffnung in der Grundplatte geräteseitig hintergreift.In a particularly simple embodiment it is provided that the base plate has an opening, that the coupling piece consists of a sleeve closed on one side by a bottom, wherein the bottom has an opening aligned in the base plate in the opening, and that the shielding sleeve at a distance from the device side Edge has a paragraph which can be applied to the bottom of the coupling piece, wherein the device-side end of the shielding sleeve is designed as a flanged edge, which engages behind the edge of the opening in the base plate on the device side.

Bei dieser Anordnung braucht die Abschirmhülse lediglich durch die Grundplatte und das Kupplungsstück hindurchgesteckt und der hervorstehende Rand umgebördelt werden. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass diese Befestigung vollkommen ausreicht, die auf die Buchse-Steckerverbindung wirkenden Zugkräfte aufzunehmen.In this arrangement, the shielding only needs to pass through the base plate and the coupling piece and the protruding edge to be crimped. It has been found that this attachment is perfectly sufficient to absorb the forces acting on the socket-plug connection tensile forces.

Ein notwendiger Isolator zwischen der Abschirmhülse und dem zentralen Stift (Zentralstift) ist als Isolatorhülse ausgeführt, der vom geräteseitigen Ende in die Abschirmhülse einführbar ist. Ein zu weites Einführen wird dadurch vermieden, dass die Isolatorhülse an ihrem geräteseitigen Ende einen radial nach außen weisenden Flansch aufweist, der an der geräteseitigen Seite der Grundplatte bzw. dem Bördelrand anliegt.A necessary insulator between the shielding sleeve and the central pin (central pin) is designed as an insulator sleeve which can be inserted from the device-side end into the shielding sleeve. Too much insertion is avoided by the fact that the insulator sleeve has a radially outwardly facing flange at its device-side end, which rests against the device-side side of the base plate or the flanged edge.

Der Zentralstift ist mit der Gabel einer Schneidklemmverbindung verbunden. Der Zentralstift wird vom geräteseitigen Ende in die Isolatorhülse eingeschoben, wobei darauf zu achten ist, dass die Gabel entsprechend der Lage einer Schneidplatte im Gehäuse ausgerichtet ist. Am Zentralstift befinden sich Widerhaken, die sich in die innere Gehäusewand der Isolatorhülse eingraben, so dass eine innige Verbindung entsteht.The center pin is connected to the fork of an IDC connection. The central pin is inserted from the device end into the insulator sleeve, whereby it must be ensured that the fork is aligned according to the position of a cutting plate in the housing. At the central pin are barbs that dig into the inner housing wall of the insulator sleeve, so that an intimate connection is formed.

Zum Schutz der mit Schneiden versehenen Gabel kann diese in einer Tasche angeordnet sein, die mit der Grundplatte verklipst ist. Die Tasche selbst hat ebenfalls eine gabelförmige Form mit einem Aufnahmeschlitz, in dem die Gabelstücke liegen, wobei die Schneiden der Gabel aus dem Schlitz nach innen hervorragen.To protect the provided with cutting fork this can be arranged in a pocket which is clipped to the base plate. The bag itself also has a bifurcated shape with a receiving slot in which lie the fork pieces, with the cutters of the fork projecting out of the slot inwards.

Der Vorteil bei Buchsen, die über ein besonderes Buchsengehäuse verfügen (diese werden auch als SMB-Buchsen bezeichnet), liegt außerdem darin, dass dieses mit einer Codiereinrichtung in Form von Längsstegen versehen ist, die in bestimmten Winkellagen an der Außenseite des als Hülse ausgeführten Kupplungsstückes angeordnet sind. Das entsprechende Gegenstück im Stecker weist passende Vertiefungen auf. Die Codierung ermöglicht es, mehrere Buchsen für verschiedene Signaleingänge an einem Gehäuse vorzusehen und diese z.B. farblich zu markieren. Eine Fehlsteckung ist dann praktisch unmöglich, da neben der Farbcodierung die beschriebene geometrische Codierung vorliegt, so dass nicht zueinander passende Buchsen und Stecker nicht aufeinander gesteckt werden können. Außerdem kann das Kupplungsstück mit einer Rasteinrichtung versehen werden, so dass die Verbindung erst nach Betätigen einer Raste gelöst werden kann.The advantage of sockets that have a special socket housing (these are also referred to as SMB sockets), is also that this is provided with an encoder in the form of longitudinal webs, in certain angular positions on the outside of the sleeve designed as a coupling piece are arranged. The corresponding counterpart in the plug has matching recesses. The coding makes it possible to provide several sockets for different signal inputs on a housing and this e.g. to mark in color. A mismatch is then practically impossible, since in addition to the color coding the geometric coding described is present, so that mismatching sockets and plugs can not be plugged. In addition, the coupling piece can be provided with a latching device, so that the connection can be released only after pressing a catch.

Desweiteren können miteinander korrespondierende Elemente an der Grundplatte und dem Kupplungsstück vorgesehen sein, die es erlauben, das Kupplungsstück in verschiedenen Winkellagen an der Gehäusewand zu befestigen. Dies ist insbesondere dann von Vorteil, wenn der Stecker einen seitlichen Kabelabgang aufweist und man erreichen möchte, dass das Kabel in einer bestimmten Richtung vom Gehäuse abgeht.Furthermore, mutually corresponding elements can be provided on the base plate and the coupling piece be, which allow to fix the coupling piece in different angular positions on the housing wall. This is particularly advantageous if the plug has a lateral cable outlet and you want to achieve that the cable goes off in a certain direction from the housing.

Im Folgenden soll anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels die Erfindung näher erläutert werden. Dazu zeigen

In the following, the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment. Show this
Fig. 1
the socket in assembled condition,
Fig. 2
an exploded view of the socket.

Die Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen eine Grundplatte 1, die in eine Öffnung in einem nicht dargestellten Gehäuse eines elektronischen Gerätes eingesetzt und dort verschraubt wird. Die Grundplatte 1 bildet dann einen Teil der Gehäusewand. An der nach außen gewandten Seite befindet sich das Kupplungsstück 2 einer Buchse. Dabei handelt es sich um ein Hülse 2a, die auf einem quadratischen Sockel 2b sitzt. Der Sockel 2b passt genau zwischen zwei Längsriefen 3 an der Grundplatte 1, so dass das Kupplungsstück 2 vier Orientierungen bezüglich der Gehäusewand einnehmen kann. Um das Kupplungsstück 2 zusätzlich gegen Verdrehungen zu sichern, befinden sich an der gehäuseseitigen Seite des Sockels 2b vier Stifte 4a, die in entsprechende Öffnungen 4b der Grundplatte eingesetzt sind.Figures 1 and 2 show a base plate 1, which is inserted into an opening in a housing, not shown, of an electronic device and screwed there. The base plate 1 then forms part of the housing wall. On the side facing outward, there is the coupling piece 2 a socket. This is a sleeve 2a, which sits on a square base 2b. The base 2b fits exactly between two longitudinal grooves 3 on the base plate 1, so that the coupling piece 2 can take four orientations with respect to the housing wall. To additionally secure the coupling piece 2 against rotation, located on the housing side of the base 2b four pins 4a, which are inserted into corresponding openings 4b of the base plate.

Im Sockel 2b des Kupplungsstückes 2 sowie in der Grundplatte 1 befindet sich je eine Öffnung 5, 6 mit gleichem Durchmesser. Diese beiden Öffnungen 5, 6 liegen exakt übereinander, wenn das Kupplungsstück 2 wie gezeigt an der Grundplatte 1 angeordnet ist. Durch diese Doppelöffnung wird von der Kupplungsseite her eine Abschirmhülse 7 eingeführt, bis ein Absatz 8 an der Abschirmhülse 7 zur Anlage an den Sockel 2b gelangt. Das Ende der Abschirmhülse 7, das geräteseitig aus der Grundplatte 1 hervorsteht, wird umgebördelt, so dass die Grundplatte 1 sowie der Sockel 2b des Kupplungsstückes 2 zwischen dem Absatz 8 und dem Bördelrand eingeklemmt sind. Dabei befindet sich nun die Abschirmhülse 7 konzentrisch in der Hülse 2a des Kupplungsstückes 2. Vom geräteseitigen Ende her wird in die Abschirmhülse 7 eine Isolatorhülse 9 eingeführt, die über einen umlaufenden Klemmrand 10 verfügt, so dass sich eine Klemmverbindung zwischen den beiden Teilen einstellt. Außerdem sorgt ein Flansch 11 am geräteseitigen Ende der Isolatorhülse 9 dafür, dass die Isolatorhülse 9 nicht zu weit in die Abschirmhülse 7 eingeschoben wird. Der Flansch 11 liegt am Bördelrand an und verhindert damit, dass dieser aufgebogen werden kann.In the base 2b of the coupling piece 2 and in the base plate 1 is ever an opening 5, 6 with the same diameter. These two openings 5, 6 lie exactly above one another when the coupling piece 2 is arranged on the base plate 1 as shown. Through this double opening, a shielding sleeve 7 is inserted from the coupling side until a shoulder 8 on the shielding sleeve 7 for Plant on the base 2b passes. The end of the shielding sleeve 7, the device side protruding from the base plate 1 is crimped, so that the base plate 1 and the base 2b of the coupling piece 2 are clamped between the shoulder 8 and the bead. In this case, now the shielding sleeve 7 is concentric in the sleeve 2a of the coupling piece 2. From the device end, an insulator sleeve 9 is inserted into the shielding sleeve 7, which has a circumferential clamping edge 10, so that adjusts a clamping connection between the two parts. In addition, a flange 11 on the device-side end of the insulator sleeve 9 ensures that the insulator sleeve 9 is not inserted too far into the shielding sleeve 7. The flange 11 abuts the beaded edge and thus prevents it from being bent open.

Ein Zentralstift 13 verfügt an seinem geräteseitigen Ende über eine Gabel 14 einer Schneidklemmverbindung. Durch eine Abkröpfung im Übergang zwischen dem Zentralstift 13 und der Gabel 14 wird erreicht, dass die Ebene, in der die Gabel liegt, gegenüber dem Zentralstift 13 versetzt ist. Der vordere Teil des Zentralstiftes 13 ist rund ausgeführt, der weiter hinter liegende Teil in etwa quadratisch, da dort Widerhaken 16a, 16b vorgesehen sind (siehe Vergrößerung in Fig. 2), die sich in der Innenwand der Isolatorhülse 9 verhaken, wenn der Zentralstift 13 vom gehäuseseitigen Ende her in die Isolatorhülse 9 eingeführt wird.A central pin 13 has at its device-side end via a fork 14 of a insulation displacement connection. By a bend in the transition between the central pin 13 and the fork 14 ensures that the plane in which the fork is located, is offset from the central pin 13. The front part of the central pin 13 is executed round, the further behind lying part in approximately square, there barbs 16 a, 16 b are provided (see enlargement in Fig. 2), which get caught in the inner wall of the insulator sleeve 9 when the central pin thirteenth is introduced from the housing-side end into the insulator sleeve 9.

An einer nicht dargestellten Platine, auf der sich die Signal verarbeitenden Einrichtung befindet, ist eine Schneidplatte angelötet. Beim Einsetzen der Buchse in die Gehäusewand wird die Gabel 14 auf die Schneidplatte aufgeschoben, wobei sich eine elektrisch leitende Verbindung einstellt, die durch Schneidkanten 15a, 15b an der Gabel noch verbessert wird. Der Zentralstift 13 ist mit der Signal verarbeitenden Einrichtung somit durch eine Schneidklemmverbindung verbunden.On a circuit board, not shown, on which the signal processing device is, a cutting plate is soldered. When inserting the socket into the housing wall, the fork 14 is pushed onto the cutting plate, wherein an electrically conductive connection is established, which is further improved by cutting edges 15a, 15b on the fork. The central pin 13 is connected to the Signal processing device thus connected by an insulation displacement connection.

Zum Schutz der Gabel 14 gegen Verbiegungen wird diese in einer Tasche 17 angeordnet. Diese Tasche 17 ist ebenfalls gabelförmig ausgelegt, wobei an der Innenseite der Gabel 14 Schlitze 18 verlaufen, in denen die Gabel 14 liegt, wobei die Schneidkanten 15a, 15b - wie Fig. 1 zeigt - hervorstehen.To protect the fork 14 against bending this is arranged in a pocket 17. This pocket 17 is likewise fork-shaped, with slots 14 on the inner side of the fork 14, in which the fork 14 lies, with the cutting edges 15a, 15b, as shown in FIG. 1, protruding.

Diese Tasche 17 ist über eine Klipsverbindung mit der Grundplatte 1 verbunden. Dazu weist die Tasche 17 an ihrem der Grundplatte zugewandten Ende zwei Haken 19a, 19b auf, die in entsprechende Öffnungen 20a, 20b in die Grundplatte 1 eingreifen.This pocket 17 is connected via a clip connection with the base plate 1. For this purpose, the pocket 17 at its base plate facing the end of two hooks 19a, 19b, which engage in corresponding openings 20a, 20b in the base plate 1.

Da die Gabel 14 - wie erläutert - versetzt gegenüber dem Zentralstift 13 liegt, sind auch die Öffnungen 20a, 20b versetzt gegenüber der Achse der Öffnung 5 in der Grundplatte 1 angeordnet. Die Hakenenden liegen in Austaschungen 21 im Sockel 2b des Kupplungsstückes 2. Die Haken 19a, 19b sind somit vom Sockel 2b geschützt und können nicht unbeabsichtigt gelöst werden.Since the fork 14 - as explained - offset from the central pin 13, and the openings 20 a, 20 b offset from the axis of the opening 5 in the base plate 1 are arranged. The hook ends lie in Austaschungen 21 in the base 2b of the coupling piece 2. The hooks 19a, 19b are thus protected by the base 2b and can not be solved unintentionally.

Die gemäß Fig. 1 fertig montierte Buchse wird in die Öffnung einer nicht dargestellten Gehäusewand eingesetzt. Dabei umgreift die Gabel 14 die Schneidplatte, wodurch eine sichere elektrische Verbindung zwischen dem Zentralstift 13 und der Signalauswerteeinrichtung hergestellt ist.The fully assembled according to FIG. 1 socket is inserted into the opening of a housing wall, not shown. In this case, the fork 14 engages around the cutting plate, whereby a secure electrical connection between the central pin 13 and the signal evaluation device is made.

Die Außenseite der Hülse 2a des Kupplungsstückes 2 ist mit Längsstegen 22 versehen, die aufgrund ihrer Winkellage eine Codierung bilden.The outside of the sleeve 2a of the coupling piece 2 is provided with longitudinal webs 22, which form an encoding due to their angular position.

Ein Stecker, der über Nuten in entsprechenden Winkelpositionen verfügt, wird auf das Kupplungsstück 2 aufgesteckt. Außerdem ist ein Rasthaken 23 vorgesehen, der in eine entsprechende Rastnut am Stecker eingeklipst wird, so dass die Steckverbindung auf Zug beansprucht werden kann, ohne sich zu lösen. Häufig haben die Stecker einen seitlichen Kabelabgang. Durch die Orientierung des Kupplungsstückes 2 auf der Grundplatte 1 ist somit auch die Richtung des Kabelabganges vorgegeben, die verändert wird, wenn - wie oben schon erläutert - das Kupplungsstück 2 zuvor in einer anderen Orientierungen an der Grundplatte 1 befestigt worden ist.A plug, which has grooves in corresponding angular positions, is attached to the coupling piece 2. In addition, a latching hook 23 is provided, which is clipped into a corresponding latching groove on the plug, so that the connector can be claimed to train, without loosening. Often the plugs have a lateral cable outlet. Due to the orientation of the coupling piece 2 on the base plate 1, the direction of the cable outlet is thus given, which is changed if - as explained above - the coupling piece 2 has previously been attached to the base plate 1 in a different orientations.
