Nachteilig wirkt sich dabei aus, dass verschiedene Anschlussprinzipien, wie das Löten in der industriellen Verbindungstechnik stetig auf Grund des Aufwandes zurückgedrängt wird, dass Schraubanschlüsse wie auch Käfigzugfederanschlüsse einen relativ großen Raumbedarf haben, und Crimpanschlüsse jeweils spezielles Werkzeug erfordern.The disadvantage is that different connection principles, such as the soldering in the industrial connection technology steadily due to the effort is pushed back that screw connections as well as cage tension spring connections have a relatively large space requirement, and Crimp connections each require special tools.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Anschlusselement der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend auszubilden, dass eine Verbindungstechnik zwischen einem elektrischen Leiter und einem Anschlusselement realisiert wird, das mindestens vergleichbare Kontaktierungsdaten, wie Übergangswiderstände und gasdichte Verbindungspunkte aufweist, wie eine mit einem Crimpanschluss versehene Verbindung, jedoch ohne das spezielle Werkzeug der Crimpzange zu benötigen.The invention is therefore based on the object, a connection element of initially mentioned type in such a way that a connection technology between an electrical conductor and a connection element is realized, the at least comparable contacting data, such as contact resistance and gas-tight connection points, such as a crimped connection, but without the special one Need tool of the crimping tool.
Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass das Anschlussende eine sägezahnähnlich geformte Kontur aufweist, wobei senkrecht zur Steckrichtung weisende Flanken vorgesehen sind, dass auf das Anschlussende eine federnde Hülse aufgeschoben ist, dass die Hülse mittels eines Keilelementes aufgeweitet ist, und dass in den Zwischenraum zwischen dem Anschlussende und der Hülse bis an einen Anschlag eingefügte Litzen des Litzenleiters, nach dem Entfernen des Keilelementes, mit einer radial wirkenden Kraft durch die federnde Hülse in die sägezahnähnliche Kontur gepresst werden.This object is achieved in that the terminal end of a sawtooth similar having shaped contour, wherein perpendicular to the insertion direction pointing flanks are provided that on the terminal end of a resilient Sleeve is pushed, that the sleeve by means of a wedge element is widened, and that in the space between the terminal end and the sleeve inserted to a stop strands of the stranded conductor, after removal of the wedge element, with a radially acting force be pressed by the resilient sleeve in the sawtooth-like contour.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, daß ein als Stift- oder Buchsenkontakt ausgebildetes Anschlusselement mit einem gezähnten Anschlussende versehen ist, welches von einer federnden Hülse umfasst wird. Ein zwischen dem Anschlussende und der Hülse eingebrachter elektrischer Leiter mit einer Vielzahl von Litzen wird durch die einwirkende Federkraft der Hülse permanent auf die Spitzen der sägezahnähnlichen Kontur des Anschlussendes gepresst, so dass eine vibrationssichere, mit einer nahezu gleichartigen Festigkeit und Kontaktsicherheit entstehende Verbindung zwischen einem Kontaktelement und dem elektrischen Leiter erzielt wird, wie mit einer Crimpverbindung, bei der jedoch ein spezielles Crimp-Zangenwerkzeug zur Montage erforderlich ist.The advantages achieved by the invention are in particular that a formed as a pin or socket contact connection element with a toothed connection end is provided, which of a resilient Sleeve is included. An inserted between the terminal end and the sleeve electrical conductor with a variety of strands is formed by the acting Spring force of the sleeve permanently on the tips of the sawtooth-like Contour of the terminal end pressed so that a vibration-proof, resulting in a nearly identical strength and contact reliability Connection between a contact element and the electrical conductor is achieved, as with a crimp, but with a special Crimping pliers tool is required for mounting.
Weiterhin ist von Vorteil, dass der Anschlussquerschnitt der elektrischen Leiter
für das erfindungsgemäße Anschlusselement einen größeren Variationsbereich
umfasst, als dies bei einem Crimpanschluss möglich ist.
Bedingt durch die geringe Baugröße ist eine vermehrte Anzahl von Kontakten
auf gleichem Raum in einem Steckgehäuse unterzubringen als dies z.B.
bei der Nutzung von Käfigzugfedern möglich ist.
Dabei ist der Vorgang der Kontaktierung vorteilhafterweise so gestaltet,
dass die mit einem Längsschlitz versehene Hülse mittels eines darin einfügbaren
Keilelementes einen vergrößerten Durchmesser aufweist, so dass
zwischen dem Anschlussende und der Hülse ein elektrischen Leiter mit einer
Vielzahl von Litzen einschiebbar ist.
Entfernt man das Keilelement, so presst die federnde Hülse die Litzen auf
die konzentrisch angeordneten Zähne bzw. in die Zwischenräume des sägezahnähnlich
ausgebildeten Anschlussbereiches, so dass durch die Zahnspitzen
eine mechanische Hinterschneidung gebildet wird, wodurch ein Ab- oder
Herausziehen des elektrischen Leiters aus der Hülse kaum möglich ist.
Weiterhin vorteilhaft ist, die optische Signalisierung von bereits befestigten
bzw. noch nicht festgesetzten elektrischen Leitern in einem mehrere Anschlüsse
umfassenden Steckgehäuse: wenn alle Keilelemente aus dem Gehäuse
herausragen sind auch die entsprechenden elektrischen Leiter fest
mit den Kontaktstiften bzw. Kontaktbuchsen verbunden. Dabei kann vorteilhafterweise
vorgesehen sein, die Keilelemente farblich gegenüber dem Gehäuse
abzusetzen.
In einer weiteren Variante ist ein Anschlusselement vorgesehen, das derartig
ausgestaltet ist, dass die Kontaktstifte oder Kontaktbuchsen mit der Hülse in
ein bereits bekanntes Steckverbindergehäuse direkt eingesetzt werden können.
Des weiteren ist eine Variante mit einer gerollten Hülse vorgesehen, bei der
die Mantelflächen überlappend angeordnet sind, wobei in eine Keilöffnung
an einem Ende der Hülse die Klinge eines Schraubendrehers eingesetzt
wird, mit der der Durchmesser der Hülse vergrößerbar ist.
Dabei gleitet jedoch die Kante der innenliegenden Mantelfläche durch die
federnde Wirkung der gerollten Hülse an der überlappenden Mantelfläche
entlang, so dass die innerhalb der Hülse befindlichen Litzen nicht nach außen
gelangen.Furthermore, it is advantageous that the connection cross-section of the electrical conductors for the connection element according to the invention comprises a larger variation range than is possible with a crimp connection.
Due to the small size of an increased number of contacts in the same space in a plug housing accommodate than this is possible, for example, when using cage tension springs.
The process of contacting is advantageously designed so that the provided with a longitudinal slot sleeve by means of an insertable wedge member has an enlarged diameter, so that between the terminal end and the sleeve, an electrical conductor with a plurality of strands is inserted.
If the wedge element is removed, then the resilient sleeve presses the strands onto the concentrically arranged teeth or into the interspaces of the sawtooth-like connection region, so that a mechanical undercut is formed by the tooth tips, thereby removing or withdrawing the electrical conductor from the sleeve hardly possible. It is also advantageous, the optical signaling of already attached
or not yet fixed electrical conductors in a multi-port plug housing: if all the wedge elements protrude from the housing and the corresponding electrical conductors are firmly connected to the contact pins or contact sockets. It can be advantageously provided to sell the wedge elements in color with respect to the housing.
In a further variant, a connection element is provided, which is designed such that the contact pins or contact sockets with the sleeve can be used directly in an already known connector housing.
Furthermore, a variant with a rolled sleeve is provided, in which the lateral surfaces are arranged overlapping, wherein in a wedge opening at one end of the sleeve, the blade of a screwdriver is used with which the diameter of the sleeve is increased.
In this case, however, the edge of the inner lateral surface slides along the overlapping lateral surface by the resilient action of the rolled sleeve, so that the strands located inside the sleeve do not reach the outside.
Mit dieser Verbindungsart ist eine gleichartige, vorteilhafterweise wieder lösbare Verbindung zu erreichen, ähnlich wie bei einem Crimpvorgang, die jedoch nicht lösbar ist.With this type of connection is a similar, advantageously releasable again To achieve connection, similar to a crimping, however is not solvable.

In dem besonders in Fig. 2 gezeigten zweiten Teil des isolierenden Gehäuses,
dem anschlussseitigen Gehäuseteil 3 ist eine durchgängige Öffnung
vorgesehen, die unterschiedliche Einzelöffnungen mit unterschiedlichen
Funktionen aufweist.
Für die Zuführung des elektrischen Leiters ist die Öffnung 33 vorgesehen, an
die sich eine durch Lamellen 32 trichterförmig ausgebildete Öffnung anschließt,
die in eine erweiterte Ausnehmung 31 hineinragt, die wiederum zur
Aufnahme der Hülse 20 sowie der Ringkontur 9 des Gehäuseteiles 2
vorgesehen ist.In the second part of the insulating housing, particularly the one shown in FIG. 2, the connection-
For the supply of the electrical conductor, the
In der Fig. 3 ist das Keilelement 40 in einer stark vergrößerten Darstellung
gezeigt. Das Keilelement weist im wesentlichen zwei um 90° gegeneinander
gedrehte Streifenelemente auf, die aus einem Keil 42 mit einer Keilspitze 43
bestehen, sowie dem versetzt angeordneten Führungsteil 44.
Um das Führungsteil ist im Kantenbereich zum Keil ein schmaler, umlaufender
Steg 41 gezeigt, der bei einer einstückigen Variante, Gehäusteil 3 und
Keilelement werden in einem Spritzvorgang hergestellt, das Keilelement innerhalb
des Gehäuseteiles 3 festhält.
An den Schmalseiten des Führungsteiles ist jeweils eine Arretierungsnase
46 vorgesehen, mittels der das Keilelement innerhalb der Führung 35 des
Gehäuseteiles 3 unverlierbar gehalten ist. Die zur Hülse 20 weisende
Schmalseite des Keiles 42 weist eine Schräge 47 auf.
An das Führungsteil 44 ist ein abgewinkeltes Endstück 45 angeformt, mit
dem das Keilelement aus dem Gehäuseteil 3 herausgezogen oder hineingedrückt
werden kann, wobei eine Nut 48 zum Einsatz eines Schraubendrehers
an der nach außen weisenden Seite des Endstückes vorgesehen ist.In Fig. 3, the

Die Funktionsweise des Keilelementes 40 ist folgende: Im montagefertigen
Zustand des Anschlusselementes ist das Keilelement in einer der Ausführungsvarianten
mit einer als Steg 41 ausgeführten Sollbruchstelle innerhalb
des anschlussseitigen Gehäuseteiles 3 gehalten. Dabei schließt das Endstück
45 des Keilelementes in einer Ebene mit der Außenwandung des Gehäuseteiles
3 ab. Der Stiftkontakt 10 ist mit der aufgesteckten Hülse 20 innerhalb
des zusammengefügten Gehäuse 1 eingeschoben. Dabei gelangt
der Keil 42 zwischen die Keilöffnung 24 der Hülse 20 und weitet diese auf. The operation of the
Des Weiteren ist die zur Hülse weisende Seite des Keiles 42 an den Innendurchmesser
der Hülse 20 angepasst, so dass bei einem Einschieben der
Litzen keine der Einzeladern sich zwischen die geöffneten Seitenstreifen 22
an der Hülse einschieben können.
Mit dem Aufweiten des Innendurchmessers der Hülse können die Litzen eines
elektrischen Leiters einfach in den ringförmigen Hohlraum zwischen die
Sägezahnkontur 14 des Anschlussendes 13 des Stiftkontaktes und der Hülse
20 eingeschoben werden.
Nach dem Einschieben der Litzen wird das Keilelement 40 durch ein Herausziehen
an dem abgewinkelten Endstück 45 aus dem Gehäuseteil 3 entfernt.
Dabei wird ein einfaches Werkzeug, z. B. die Klinge eines Schraubendrehers
in die dazu vorgesehene Schräge 36 im Gehäuseteil 3 eingesetzt und das
Keilelement herausgehebelt, wobei der Steg 41 als Sollbruchstelle zerbricht.
Dadurch wird der Keil 42 aus dem Bereich der federnd ausgeführten Hülse
20 entfernt, so dass diese sich auf ihren ursprünglichen Durchmesser zusammenzieht.
Dabei werden die Litzen auf die Sägezahnkontur 14 bzw. in
die dazwischenliegenden Vertiefungen gepresst, so dass durch die Hinterschneidung
an den senkrecht abfallenden Flanken 15 der Sägezähne ein
Heraus- oder Abziehen des elektrischen Leiters aus der Hülse kaum möglich
ist.
In einer anderen Variante wird ein separat gefertigtes, möglichst farbig vom
Gehäuseteil 3 abweichendes Keilelement 40 lediglich in die Führung 35 eingeschoben
und mittels der Arretierungsnasen 46 unverlierbar gehalten.Furthermore, the sleeve-facing side of the

In der Fig. 4 ist in einer perspektivischen Ansicht noch einmal die Funktionsweise
des Anschlusselementes, bestehend aus den Elementen des Stiftkontaktes
10, der Hülse 20 und des Keilelementes 40 dargestellt, wobei auch
das rein "digitale Verhalten" des Systemes deutlich wird, das darin besteht,
dass der Keil 42 mit seiner Keilspitze 43 entweder zwischen den Seitenstreifen
22 des Längsschlitzes 21 einschiebbar ist und die Hülse aufweitet oder
die federnd ausgeführte Hülse nimmt ihren ursprünglichen Zustand wieder
ein sobald die Keilspitze in die Keilöffnung 24 der Hülse gelangt. FIG. 4 once again shows the mode of operation in a perspective view
of the connecting element, consisting of the elements of the
In den Fig. 5a und 5b ist in einer Schnittdarstellung durch das zusammengefügte
Gehäuse 1, bestehend aus den Gehäuseteilen 2, 3, jeweils ein einzelnes
Anschlusselement gezeigt.
Dabei ist zu erkennen, wie der Stiftkontakt 10 mit der übergestülpten Hülse
20 in den beiden Gehäuseteile 2, 3 geführt wird, wobei die Lamellen 32 mit
einem engeren Durchmesser an die Trichteröffnung 32 der Hülse anstoßen.
Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die Litzen eines elektrischen Leiters zunächst mittels
der Lamellen fokussiert werden, dann auf das kegelförmige Anschlussende
13 des Stiftkontaktes treffen und dann um die Kegelspitze herum in
den Freiraum zwischen Hülse und Anschlussende aufgeteilt werden.
Dabei ist in Fig. 5a gezeigt, wie der Keil 42 zwischen den Seitenstreifen 22
der Hülse eingeschoben ist und damit den Hülsendurchmesser vergrößert.
Beim Herausziehen des Keiles, wie in Fig. 5b gezeigt, wird mittels einer hebelartigen
Bewegung eines einfachen Werkzeuges, dass in die schräge
Ausnehmung 36 des Gehäuseteiles 3 eingeführt wird und dabei hinter das
Endstück 45 des Keilelementes 40 greift, das Keilelement bis zum Anschlag
der Rastnasen 46 an die innere Wandung des Gehäuseteiles 3 herausgehebelt.
Dabei erreicht die federnde Hülse 20 wieder ihren ursprünglichen engen
Durchmesser und umschließt die Sägezahnkontur 14 des Anschlussendes
13 nahezu abstandslos.In FIGS. 5a and 5b, a single connection element is shown in a sectional representation through the assembled
It can be seen how the

In der Fig. 6 ist eine Hülse 50 für ein variiertes Anschlusselement gezeigt,
dass nach dem gleichen Prinzip arbeitet, jedoch mit seiner äußere Bauform
auf ein bereits bestehendes Steckersystem abgestimmt ist, so dass dieses
Anschlusselement problemlos und ersatzweise für einen bereits gebräuchlichen
Buchsen- oder Stiftkontakt eingesetzt werden kann.
Die Hülse 50 mit einem vorderen Ende 51 und einem im Durchmesser größeren
hinteren Ende 52, weist zwei senkrecht zueinander axial verlaufende
Schlitze 53 auf, die bis an das hintere Ende 52 heranreichen, so dass vier
federnde Segmente 54 entstehen, die durch das hintere Ende 52 zusammengehalten
werden. Dabei ist der mittlere Teilabschnitt zwischen dem vorderen
und hinteren Ende im Durchmesser geringer ausgeführt als das vordere
Ende 51. Den in das Hülseninnere ragenden Teil des vorderen Endes 51
ist mit einer hakenförmigen Anformung 55 versehen.In Fig. 6, a
The
In der Fig. 7 ist die Hülse 50 mit einem variierten Anschlussende 13' des
Stiftkontaktes 10 als Schnitt dargestellt, wobei die Hülse im geöffneten Montagezustand
gezeigt ist.
Die Hülse wird dabei durch eine mechanische Auslenkung geöffnet, die auf
dem Anschlussende 13' vorgesehen ist und durch einen axial, parallel verlaufenden
Abschnitt 17 gebildet wird, der mit einer Abrundung zu der Einschnürung
19 verläuft. Der Durchmesser der Einschnürung entspricht dem
Innendurchmesser der hakenförmigen Anformung 55 des vorderen Endes 51
der Hülse, während der Abschnitt 17 einen größeren Durchmesser aufweist.
Die Hülse 50 wird unter der Spannung der vier federnden Segmente 54 auf
dem Abschnitt 17 gehalten und ist bis zu dem Rastring 18 verschiebbar.
In den entstehenden Freiraum zwischen der Hülse 50 und der Sägezahnkontur
14 kann ein elektrischer Leiter mit einer Vielzahl von Litzen bis zum Anschlag
16 eingeschoben werden.
Nach dem Einfügen der Litzen wird die Hülse axial in die gleiche Richtung -
wie bereits die Litzen - geschoben, bis die hakenförmige Anformung 55 in
die Einschnürung 19 gleitet, wobei sich der Hülsenquerschnitt wieder verengt
und die Litzen zwischen die Sägezahnkontur 14 und die Innenwandung
der Hülse 50 gepresst werden.In Fig. 7, the

Die Fig. 8 zeigt eine weitere Variante, bei der eine aus federndem Blechmaterial
gerollte und längsgeschlitzte Hülse 20' nicht mit einem über die gesamte
Länge der Hülse reichenden Seitenstreifen 22 wie in Fig. 4 versehen ist,
der aus dem Hülsenmantel nach außen abgebogen ist, sondern bei der lediglich
eine einfach aufgebogene Keilöffnung 24' vorgesehen ist, die einen
kurzen axial ausgerichteten Seitenstreifen 22' aufweist.
An die Keilöffnung anschließend weist die Hülse eine Überlappung auf, bei
der die außenliegende Mantelfläche 26 der Hülse tangential über die Kante
der innenliegenden Mantelfläche 25 hinausragt, wobei die Kante dicht an der
außenliegenden Mantelfläche aufliegt. FIG. 8 shows a further variant in which a sleeve 20 ', which is rolled out of resilient sheet material and longitudinally slotted, is not provided with a
