Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a plug connector for airbag systems or the like, according to the preamble clause of Patent Claim 1.
  • plug connectors serve for the connection of a priming cartridge of an airbag safety system for automotive vehicles, to their automatic monitoring and triggering vehicle electronics.
  • the subject plug connectors are required to possess a high degree of compactness and reliability. On the one hand, these plug connectors must be completely reliable in terms of passing the triggering signal to the airbag cartridge and on the other hand, any interfering signals, which may be triggered in the vehicle electronics by, for example, undefined potential conditions during assembly, or by voltage surges, must not result in any unintentional triggering.
  • the so-called "make before brake" plug connectors and ferrite core chokes are provided, in order to prevent such voltage surges, or to moderate their effects.
  • These elements must, on the one hand, be provided in the plug connector and on the other hand, the latter should nevertheless be constructed as flat as possible, because of the limited amount of space in the place where the airbag is to be built in, such as, for example, in the steering wheel of a motor car.
  • the soldered and crimped electrical joints must be completely secure. The high safety requirements run counter to efforts at miniaturisation.
  • Document DE 44 137 56 C1 discloses a housing for a plug connector consisting of a base part, which is provided on its upper face with recesses for the reception of a ferrite choke coil and conducting elements soldered thereto. The assembly of base part and electrical elements is covered by means of an upper cover element.
  • Document EP 0 889 551 A2 discloses a similar plug connector housing comprising a plug body in the form of an open box, which has cable receiving grooves and a ferrite choke coil provided in its interior space.
  • the plug connector can be closed by means of an upper cover, which can be clipped onto the base art.
  • the present invention has the object of making available a plug connector of the type mentioned in the introduction, which is as compact as possible, as economical to manufacture as possible and as easy to assemble as possible and which has the highest possible level of safety.
  • the invention is based on the idea of splitting up the housing of the plug connector into a base body and two covers, where the base body has conducting elements and/or electronic elements on its upper and lower faces, which makes possible a very flat component construction, the conductor layout or elements layout being then protected only by the flat covers.
  • Fig. 1 shows the components of an embodiment example plug connector for airbag systems according to the invention.
  • the plug connector 1 has a secondary lock 18 with arms 17, an upper cover 9, a conductor element 8 with integrally formed contact elements 14 and connection straps 19 for connection with cables 20, a base body 6, a receptacle 4 for an electronic element 5, as well as a lower cover 10.
  • Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the lower face of the base body 6 on the left and of the upper face of the base body on the right.
  • the diagram on the right hand side of Fig. 2 is a view of the connection cables 20, leading into the connection straps 19, where they are crimped and/or soldered.
  • the conducting elements 8 fit closely into tracks provided for that purpose on the upper face of the base body 6.
  • the tracks run over a semi-cylindrical projection, which forms the outer wall of a semi-cylindrical housing 12 for an electronic element 5.
  • This figure also shows the lower cover 10 which is already locked to the sides of the base body 6, the plug elements 14 being inserted into the apertures provided for that purpose in the said base body 6.
  • All conducting elements 8 with their integrally attached contact elements 14, are linked together by frames 15, so that assembly of conducting elements and plug elements can be assembled on the base body 6 as a self-contained rigid unit. Only then are the connecting frames 15 split up, thereby providing a simple, closely fitting arrangement of the conductor elements 8 on the base body 6.
  • FIG. 2 shows the base body as seen from below, with the pass-through openings 7 in the base body, through which can be seen the lower faces of the conducting elements 8.
  • the electronic element 5 is a ferrite choke coil, whose ends 13 are soldered to one another on the lower face of the conductor elements 8 in the pass-through openings 7.
  • the choke 5 has already been introduced in a closely fitting manner into its housing 12 and the soldered joints are readily accessible to the appropriate tools. A control of the quality of the soldered joints is also easy to carry out.
  • connection straps of the conducting elements 8 with the ends of the cables 20 are likewise located in an opening in the base body 6, which makes the crimping of the connection straps about the cable ends easier, because there is no synthetic material between the crimping tong cheeks.
  • Fig. 3 is a perspective view, from above and from below, of the plug connector, with the housing 2 closed by the upper cover 9 and the lower cover 10.
  • the lower cover 10 which is already locked on the base body 6 and was already shown earlier in the right hand side diagram of Fig. 2 , has the upper cover 9 clipped over it, the snap-in lugs 11 in the side faces of the lower cover 10 being provided for that purpose.
  • the arms 17 of the secondary lock 18 are inserted as far as the pre-lock position into the plug portion 3 of the base body 6 through a slot 16, which is provided in the upper cover, which covers the whole of the base body 6. Only when the plug connector 1 has been inserted fully into the corresponding socket on the airbag-priming cartridge can the secondary lock 18 be locked into its final position. Simultaneously, the upper cover 9 is locked onto the base body 6, so that no unintentional or unauthorised opening of the plug connector is possible.
  • the lower diagram in Fig. 3 is a perspective view, from below, of the ready-assembled plug connector 1, showing that the sides of the upper cover 9 almost completely surround the base body, including the lower cover 10 on three sides.
  • the plug connector according to the invention is very flat, owing to the assembly of components on both sides of the base body and to the flat covers, its assembly is very simple and easy to fit owing to easily accessible critical places such as soldered joints, crimped joints and the like and owing to the easy monitoring of its process of manufacture and of the securing of openings by means of secondary locking, safe in use.
