Definitions
- the present invention concerns a connector with a housing lock, according to the characterising clause of patent Claim 1.
- Such connectors are used when it is important to ensure without fail that the two connector parts are completely inserted into one another and do not remain stuck a short distance before their end position, for example through jamming.
- a connector with a housing lock is familiar from DE 197 14 459 A1.
- This connector provides for the two connector parts which are to be inserted into one another, to be forced away from one another by the force of a spring before they have become securely locked into their final position. This is achieved by means of a securing slide, whose front face opposes, by means of the force of a spring, the introduction of a locking component arranged on a first housing part, into a second locking component arranged on a second housing part, until the said components are securely locked into one another and which, acting as a secondary lock, then locks the locking elements into their final locked position.
- This type of housing lock has the drawback that in order to loosen the link, the securing slide must be withdrawn over its entire length against the force of a spring which is pushing it forward, in order to loosen the secondary lock brought about by the securing slide and make possible the release of the locking components.
- This requires a high operating force and can, in the case of difficulty accessible parts of the connector, lead to problems of operation.
- DE 196 54 287 A1 describes a connector system, which is to a large extent similar to that described in DE 196 54 293 A1. The difference resides in the place of pressure actuation, at which the elastic locking component is actuated, in order to release the connector link. In this case, this is located immediately on the bridge-shaped locking component, but it can also be unintentionally pressed, releasing the connector link.
- the present invention has the task of improving a connector according to the characterising clause of patent Claim 1, in such a way that a loosening of the securing slide can be implemented by means of a short movement, without the application of a great deal of force.
- the present invention starts from the basic idea of releasing the locked position of the locking elements through the securing slide, by means of giving the said securing slide, following its withdrawal from its end position, the possibility of moving out of the way vertically to the direction of insertion by a short distance, which only accounts for a small fraction of the total travel of the spring components, in order to release the locked locking components.
- the securing slide need therefore not be moved back over the entire length of the locking arms, but in a actual case of a connector which is somewhat larger than a matchbox, by 1 to 3 mm
- Fig. 1 shows on the left side a first housing part 2 with a first locking component 1, which projects from the interior of the insertion face in the direction of insertion.
- the insertion blades have not yet been inserted into the chambers provided for that purpose beneath the locking component.
- Fig. 1 shows a second housing part 4 with a securing slide 5, which is arranged on the housing part 4 in a sliding manner over guide grooves and guide ribs and supports itself on the cable side end of the second housing part 4 via the springs 7.
- the securing slide 5 has at its back end a manipulation handle 15, by means of which it can be pulled with one finger in the opposite direction against the force of the spring.
- the securing slide 5 has a tongue with a free front face end, which is framed by the sides and the front edge of the securing slide 5.
- Fig. 2 shows both the housing parts 2 and 4 in a first phase of the process of insertion.
- the first housing part has a skirt which protects the insertion blade (not shown) and into which the second housing part 4 shown in Fig 2. is inserted. Inside the skirt protrudes the first locking component in the direction opposite to that of insertion.
- the channel 12 in the second insertion housing 4 has at its opening a ramp 13, over which the front face 11 of the locking component 1 is lifted when the second housing component 4 is inserted further. When the second housing 4 continues to be inserted, the front face 11 of the first locking element 1 slides to the underside of the channel 12.
- the front face 11 pushes against the front face 6 of the tongue of the securing slide 5 and presses the latter against the force of the spring 7 in the direction opposite to the direction of insertion in relation to the housing part 4, until it clicks into the locking recess 10 formed in the second locking element 3 (Fig 4.).
- This is the final position of the fully inserted connector, in which the securing slide 5 driven by the force of a spring 7, rapidly moves with the front face 6 of the tongue, over the first locking component 1 in the direction of insertion and stops against the first connector part 2.
- the front face of the tongue of the securing slide 5 presses down the first locking component 1, thus bringing about a secondary locking.
- a separation of the two housing parts 2 and 4 is no longer possible without the actuation of the securing slide 5.
- the connector link is thus in a perfect condition and can no longer be loosened by any unintentional external action.
- the manipulation handle 15 of the securing slide 5 is pulled back in the direction opposite that of insertion, then, after sliding a short distance, its front end 6 will lie opposite a recess 9 in the inner wall 8 of the first housing part 2.
- the front face 6 of the securing slide 5 can move out of the way into the said recess, so that the first locking component can move upwards and can slide out over the ramp-shaped sidewall of the locking recess.
- a force is also exerted on the second housing part 4 in the direction opposite to that of insertion via the spring 7, so that it will become loosened from the first housing part 2 and the front face 6 of the first locking component 1 will slide over the floor of channel 12, until the connector link has become loosened.
