Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical connector with the features of The preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention has for its object a connector of the beginning to simplify the type mentioned in terms of construction. This task is accomplished by Claim 1 solved.
  • the inventive design of the locking lever is a Secure locking of the locking leg when closing the connector allows.
  • the resilient design allows tolerances be balanced between plug-in part and base part of the connector. in the When the locking lever is in the locked state, the bearing arm exercises a Spring force on the construction. This will inadvertently open the Locking lever prevented.
  • the one-piece, integral design of the The locking lever simplifies the construction.
  • Claim 5 also improves the locking safety of the bearing arm.
  • the training according to claim 6 protects against accidental overuse of the spring arm, which improves the functional reliability of the locking lever becomes.
  • Claim 9 is easier to achieve a spring effect.
  • the formation of Locking brackets according to claim 11 leads to a further simplification of the Operation of the electrical connector.
  • a locking bracket for an electrical connector 1 is shown.
  • the locking bracket 2 is preferably constructed symmetrically and consists of two locking levers arranged essentially parallel to each other 3, which are interconnected by a transverse yoke 4.
  • the locking lever 3 is a one-piece, integral member that is preferred is plate-shaped. It comprises a bearing leg 5 and one Locking leg 6.
  • the bearing leg 5 is designed such that it has two, preferably tab-shaped, Bearing arms 7, 8 forms.
  • the bearing arms 7, 8 can for example by slitting the bearing leg 5 or by cutting free or a otherwise working out a bearing arm or both bearing arms from the Bearing legs 5 are formed.
  • the bearing leg can be, for example, cutting, milling or punching processes be considered. In the event that only one bearing arm 8 is cut free, part of the bearing arm 5 serves as a second bearing arm 7.
  • the from the bearing arm 5 trained bearing arms 7, 8 lie essentially in one plane.
  • the locking lever 3 is pivotable on a base part 9 of the connector 1 stored.
  • the bearing arms 7, 8 form a swivel for mounting the Locking lever 3 on a bearing pin 10 on the base part 9 of the connector 1.
  • the bearing arms 7, 8 embrace the bearing pin 10 at least partially. 2 shows a base part 9 of a connector 1 with two locking levers 3 in the open position. In this Position, the bearing arms 7, 8 lie closely against the bearing journal 10 and enable them a firm hold of the locking lever 3 on the journal 10. Die Bearing arms 7, 8 are hollowed out for receiving the bearing journal 10.
  • the radius of the troughs 11 preferably corresponds to the diameter of the journal 10.
  • a plug 12 is in the plugging direction 13 placed on the base part 9, with a between the two parts resilient seal (not shown). Then the on the Base part 9 stored locking lever 3 locked with the plug part 12. At the Closing the snap lock is the locking lever 3 in one plane pivots about parallel to the central longitudinal axis of the connector 1 is aligned.
  • the closure leg 6 is designed such that he a locking pin 14 when closing the snap lock Engages behind the plug part of the connector.
  • the locking lever shown on the right in Fig. 3 3 illustrates a point in time during the locking leg locking 6, in which the lock is almost closed. One recognises the crossing of the locking leg 6 on the locking pin 14 on Plug part 12 of the connector 1.
  • a bearing arm of the bearing leg 5 of the locking lever 3 is a spring arm 8 educated.
  • the spring arm 8 is designed such that the locking lever 3 for locking and unlocking the locking leg 6 against the spring force of the spring arm 8 relative to the base part 9 in the direction of the plug-in part 12 can be moved. This makes closing and opening very safe the locking enables.
  • the strength of the spring action of the spring arm 8 can through various constructive measures, such as a change the strength of the spring arm foot can be adjusted.
  • the locking lever 3 preferably has a further one from the bearing leg 5 trained stop arm 15, which preferably in the same way and How the bearing arms 7, 8 is formed from the bearing leg 5. As in Fig. 3 (right) shown, this is designed so that it has a stop for the Spring arm 8 forms the spring travel when the spring arm 8 is deflected limit. The risk of the spring arm 8 breaking or overstretching this reduces excessive deflection.
  • the locking lever 3 shown on the left in FIG. 3 shows a completely closed one Locking.
  • the locking leg 6 of the locking lever 3 by reaching behind the locking pin 14 with the plug-in part 12 locked.
  • the principle of the locking lever 3 is based on the fact that now between the locking leg 6 and the locking pin 14 on the one hand and between the spring arm 8 and the bearing pin 10, on the other hand, a spring pressure system exists, which secures the lock and a pressure on the elastic seal (not shown) between base part 9 and plug-in part 12.
  • the locking leg 6 is preferably for reaching behind the locking pin 14 tired out.
  • the radius of the recess 16 corresponds to this preferably the diameter of the locking pin 14.
  • Bearing pin 10 and locking pin 14 are in terms of their training and Arrangement on base part 9 and plug part 12 of the connector 1 are identical. Therefore the locking lever 3 can optionally also on the locking pin 14 be storable. In this case, the bearing journal 10 takes on the function of a Locking pin. This makes it possible to use different plug-in parts 12 on one and the same base part 9. Due to the resilient design of the locking lever 3, which allow tolerance compensation, are below Under certain circumstances, base parts and plug-in parts from different manufacturers combined.
  • At least one locking lever 3 is used for securely connecting base part 9 and plug part 12 of a connector 1 .
  • locking lever 3 By connecting a plurality of locking levers 3 to locking brackets 2 as shown in FIGS. 1-3 the handling is further simplified. Locking lever 3 and Locking bracket 2 can also be combined with other fasteners become.
  • the locking lever 3 is preferably made of a material with resilient Characteristics.
  • the use of spring steel comes in Consideration. But also the use of other materials, such as Plastics, is possible. If a locking bracket 2 is used, then it can be made entirely of such a material.
  • the locking lever 3 Due to the integral design of the locking lever 3, it is not necessary Additional components, such as springs or the like, for secure locking and unlatching. All functions of the locking lever 3 are met by a single integral component. This can reduce manufacturing costs be lowered by electrical connectors 1. Through the integral design, it is possible to use both a locking lever 3 and also an entire locking bracket 2 by simple machining processes such as forming techniques, such as bending, from a single preferably plate-shaped blank, for example a sheet metal part to manufacture, whereby the manufacturing cost can be further reduced.
  • a handle 17 be attached.
  • This can for example be integral with the locking lever 3 be connected or consist of an additional component that the locking lever 3 is attached.
  • two locking levers 3 are connected to a locking bracket 2
  • the Querjoch 4 but can also consist of another component that with the locking levers 3 is connected.
  • the transverse yoke 4 can also be configured in this way be that it takes on the function of a handle.
  • the handle 17 can also be attached to the transverse yoke 4 as an additional component.
  • the handling can be the attachment of a further component, for example a coating of a plastic material may be provided.
  • the invention relates to an electrical connector 1 with at least one on a base part 9 of the connector 1 mounted locking lever 3, the is designed as a one-piece, integral component such that a as a spring arm 8 pronounced part of the bearing leg 5 of the locking lever 3 in Closed position allows a spring pressure system, which ensures secure locking of the locking leg 6 of the locking lever 3 with the plug part 12 of the Connector 1 allows.
