Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Isolierkörper zum Einbau in einen (Gas-)Generator als Bestandteil eines Steckverbinder-Systems mit Generator und Stecker für aufblasbare Rückhaltesysteme in Kraftfahrzeugen.The invention relates to an insulating body for installation in a (gas) generator as Part of a connector system with generator and plug for inflatable Restraint systems in motor vehicles.
Isolierkörper dieser Art sind beispielsweise aus den deutschen Offenlegungsschriften 199 35 969 und 199 35 970 bekannt. Die Isolierkörper dienen unter anderem der Aufnahme einer Kurzschlussfeder, die gemäß DE 199 35 970 A1 zweiteilig ist und gemäß DE 199 35 969 A1 kompliziert im Isolierkörper positioniert werden muss. Insulating body of this type are for example from the German Offenlegungsschriften 199 35 969 and 199 35 970 known. The insulator serve, among other things, the recording a short-circuit spring, which is in two parts according to DE 199 35 970 A1 and according to DE 199 35 969 A1 complicated to be positioned in the insulating body.
Für Steckverbinder der genannten Art wird unter anderem verlangt, dass die im Bereich des Generators (einer Dose) angeordneten Kontaktstifte gegen ein schaufelartiges Eintauchen des vorderen Gehäuserandes des Gegensteckers berührungssicher angeordnet sind (auch "scoopproof" genannt). Auf diese Weise soll verhindert werden, dass zum Beispiel bei einem Schrägaufsetzen des Steckerteils auf die Kontaktstifte der Dose (des Generators) die Kontaktstifte verbogen werden und es zu Fehlkontaktierungen kommen kann.For connectors of the type mentioned is required, inter alia, that in the field of Generator (a box) arranged pins against a scoop-like immersion of the front housing edge of the mating connector are arranged finger-safe (also "scoopproof" called). In this way it should be prevented that, for example, at a Sliding the plug part onto the contact pins of the socket (of the generator) Contact pins are bent and it can come to faulty contacts.
Zu diesem Zweck ist es bekannt, die Kontaktstifte zu verkürzen, so dass sie erst nach einer definierten Führungsstrecke des Steckers von den zugehörigen Kontaktfedern erfasst werden.For this purpose it is known to shorten the contact pins so that they only after a defined guide path of the plug are detected by the associated contact springs.
Diese Maßnahme ist jedoch nicht in jedem Fall möglich. So sind bestimmte Stecksysteme dimensionsmäßig definiert.However, this measure is not possible in every case. So are some plug-in systems dimensionally defined.
Hier setzt die der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe an. Es soll eine Möglichkeit aufgezeigt werden, die verlangte Stecksicherheit auch ohne verkürzte Kontaktstifte zu schaffen und ohne sonstige dimensionsmäßige Veränderung des Steckverbindersystems.This is where the invention of the underlying task. It should be a possibility be shown, the required security even without shortened pins create and without any dimensional change in the connector system.
Dabei ist zu berücksichtigen, dass im Bereich des Generators beziehungsweise eines im Generator angeordneten Isolierkörpers einerseits die Kontaktstifte für die Steckverbindungen platziert werden müssen, andererseits auch die erwähnte Kurzschlussfeder, wobei die Funktion dieser Feder erst dann aufgehoben werden darf, wenn Stecker und Generator (Dose) vollständig in ihrer Verriegelungsposition sind. It should be noted that in the area of the generator or an im Generator arranged insulator on the one hand, the contact pins for the connectors on the other hand, the mentioned short-circuit spring, the Function of this spring may only be canceled if plug and generator (box) are completely in their locked position.
Ein erster Ansatzpunkt für einen konstruktiven Lösungsvorschlag ist folgender: Üblicherweise sind am Stecker gegenüberliegende, federnde Rastzungen vorhanden, die in der Verriegelungsposition gegenüber der Dose in korrespondierende Rastausnehmungen des Generator-Gehäuses einfedern. In diesem Bereich muss das Dosengehäuse also bereits eine entsprechende Öffnung aufweisen; um das Einfedern der Rastnasen zu ermöglichen. Unmittelbar hinter diesen Rastnasen sind üblicherweise in Steckrichtung verschiebbare Sekundärverriegelungen (Stifte oder Schienen) vorgesehen, die verhindern, dass die Rastnasen sich unkontrolliert aus den Rastöffnungen wieder herausbewegen können.A first starting point for a constructive solution proposal is the following: Usually, the connector opposite, resilient locking tongues are present in the locking position relative to the box in corresponding recesses of the Compress generator housing. In this area, the socket housing must therefore already a have corresponding opening; to allow the compression of the locking lugs. Immediately behind these locking lugs are usually displaceable in the insertion direction Secondary locks (pins or rails) are provided to prevent the Locking lugs can move out of the locking openings uncontrolled again.
Für diese Sekundärverriegelungen ist es ebenfalls bekannt (DE 195 13 358 C1), dass sie gleichzeitig dazu dienen, eine Kurzschlussbrücke zwischen korrespondierenden Kontaktstiften aufzuheben.For these secondary locks, it is also known (DE 195 13 358 C1) that they serve simultaneously to create a shorting bridge between corresponding ones Pick up pins.
Dazu weist die Sekundärverriegelung gemäß DE 195 13 358 C1 -im Horizontalschnitt betrachtet- eine U-Form auf, wobei die Aufhebung der Kurzschlussfunktion durch den Basisschenkel erfolgt. Mit anderen Worten: Eine gemeinsame Kurzschlussfeder liegt auf korrespondierenden Abschnitten benachbarter Kontaktstifte auf und wird beim Einschieben der Sekundärverriegelung weggedrückt.For this purpose, the secondary lock according to DE 195 13 358 C1 -im horizontal section considered a U-shape, wherein the cancellation of the short-circuit function by the Base legs done. In other words: A common short-circuit spring is on corresponding portions of adjacent contact pins and is when inserted pushed away the secondary latch.
Hinsichtlich des benötigten Platzbedarfes folgt daraus, dass sowohl in Bewegungsrichtung der Kurzschlussfeder als auch senkrecht dazu, also in Bewegungsrichtung der erwähnten Rastnasen, entsprechend Raum geschaffen werden muss.With regard to the required space, it follows that both in the direction of movement of the Short-circuit spring as well as perpendicular thereto, ie in the direction of movement of the mentioned Locking noses, according to space needs to be created.
Vom Dokument DE 36 23 993 A1 ist eine elektrische Kontaktsteckverbindung mit kurzschluss federn bekannt.From document DE 36 23 993 A1 is a electrical contact connector with short circuit springs known.
Erfindungemäß ist dagegen vorgesehen, die Bewegungsrichtung der Kurzschlussfeder entsprechend der Bewegungsrichtung der Rastarme einzustellen, weil in dieser Richtung der benötigte Platz bereits vorhanden ist. However, according to the invention, the direction of movement of the short-circuit spring is provided set according to the direction of movement of the locking arms, because in this direction the needed space already exists.
In ihrer allgemeinste Ausführungsform betrifft die Erfindung danach einen Isolierkörper zum Einbau in einen Generator als Bestandteil eines Steckverbinder-Systems mit Generator und Stecker für aufblasbare Rückhaltesysteme in Kraftfahrzeugen gemäß dem Anspruch 1In its most general embodiment, the invention then relates to an insulating body for Installation in a generator as part of a connector system with generator and Plug for inflatable restraint systems in motor vehicles according to the Claim 1
Dabei kann die Kurzschlussfeder einteilig sein. Sie kann im Basisschenkel mindestens zwei Aussparungen aufweisen, die die Kontaktstifte mit Abstand umgreifen. Auf diese Weise verläuft die Kurzschlussfeder bodenseitig (mit ihrem Basisschenkel) quasi um die Kontaktstifte herum, wobei der Basischenkel letztendlich nur der Konfektionierung im Isolierkörper dient. Die eigentliche Kurzschlussfunktion übernehmen die gegeneinander gerichteten, mit dem Basisschenkel leitend verbundenen Kontaktzungen, die beispielsweise aus dem Material der U-Schenkel ausgeschnitten sein können. In this case, the short-circuit spring can be in one piece. She can at least two in the base leg Have recesses which engage around the contact pins at a distance. In this way the short-circuit spring runs on the bottom side (with its base leg) almost to the Contact pins around, the basic leg ultimately only the packaging in the Insulator serves. The actual short-circuit function take over each other directed, conductively connected to the base leg contact tongues, for example can be cut out of the material of the U-legs.
Die Anordnung der Kurzschlussfeder kann dann so sein, dass die U-Schenkel im wesentlichen parallel zu den Sekundärverriegelungs-Elementen des zugehörigen Steckers verlaufen und die Kontaktzungen so aufeinander zugerichtet sind, dass sie von den Sekundärverriegelungs-Elementen ergriffen werden, wenn diese in die Endposition geführt werden. Dabei werden die Kontaktzungen in die selbe Richtung weggedrückt, in die sich die Rastarme bewegen, wenn sie in die korrespondierenden Rastausnehmungen der Dose einschnappen.The arrangement of the short-circuit spring can then be such that the U-legs substantially run parallel to the secondary locking elements of the associated connector and the Contact tongues are aligned so that they are separated from the secondary locking elements be taken when they are led to the final position. Here are the Pressed tongues in the same direction in which the latching arms move when snap it into the corresponding recesses of the can.
Der Isolierkörper, der in einen zugehörigen Gas-Generator eingesetzt wird, kann beispielsweise eine mehr oder weniger runde Querschnittsfläche aufweisen, und zwar mit einem Außendurchmesser, der im wesentlichen dem Abstand der Außenflächen der gegenüberliegenden Rastarme des Steckers entspricht. Auch hieraus wird deutlich, dass mit dem beschriebenen Aufbau keine Verbreiterung des Generators notwendig ist.The insulating body, which is used in an associated gas generator can For example, have a more or less round cross-sectional area, with an outer diameter substantially equal to the distance of the outer surfaces of corresponds to opposite latching arms of the plug. Also from this it becomes clear that with the described structure no broadening of the generator is necessary.
Um die insbesondere einteilige Kurzschlussfeder im Isolierkörper überhaupt positionieren zu können sieht eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung vor, dass der Isolierkörper in der unteren Stirnfläche eine Öffnung aufweist, die geringfügig kleiner (z.B. kürzer) als der Basisschenkel der Kurzschlussfeder ist. Auf diese Weise kann die Kurzschlussfeder über die Öffnung "eingehebelt" und anschließend in der gewünschten Position im Isolierkörper ausgerichtet werden. Die anschließende Figurenbeschreibung zeigt dies beispielhaft.In order to even position the particular one-piece short spring in the insulating body can provide an embodiment of the invention that the insulating body in the lower Face has an opening which is slightly smaller (for example, shorter) than the base leg the short-circuit spring is. In this way, the shorting spring can over the opening "levered" and then aligned in the desired position in the insulating body become. The following description of the figures shows this by way of example.
Dabei kann die Öffnung in der unteren Stirnfläche in ihren Außenabmessungen den Außenabmessungen des Basisschenkels der Kurzschlussfeder angepasst sein. Ist der Basisschenkel der Kurzschlussfeder beispielsweise mehr oder weniger rechteckig, so kann auch die Aussparung rechteckig sein. In this case, the opening in the lower end face in their outer dimensions the Be adjusted outside dimensions of the base leg of the short-circuit spring. Is the Base leg of the short spring, for example, more or less rectangular, so can also the recess be rectangular.
Die Kurzschlussfeder kann in ihrem Basisschenkel Öffnungen oder Ausschnitte aufweisen, durch die die Kontaktstifte (beabstandet) geführt werden. Es ist aber auch möglich, den Basisschenkel beispielsweise mäanderförmig zu führen und so gegenüberliegende seitliche Öffnungen für die Kontaktstift zu schaffen.The short-circuit spring may have openings or cutouts in its base leg, through which the contact pins (spaced) are guided. But it is also possible, the Base leg, for example meandering to lead and so opposite lateral To create openings for the contact pin.
Eine weitere Möglichkeit für die Öffnungen/Aussparungen in der Kurzschlussfeder besteht darin, Aussparungen im Basisschenkel in die seitlichen U-Schenkel fortzuführen und dabei gleichzeitig die Kontaktzungen mit auszuschneiden. Auch diese Ausführungsform ist in der nachfolgenden Ausführungsform dargestellt.Another possibility for the openings / recesses in the short-circuit spring exists It continues to recesses in the base leg in the lateral U-legs and thereby at the same time to cut out the tongues. This embodiment is also in shown in the following embodiment.
Der Isolierkörper kann mit der Kurzschlussfeder vorkonfektioniert werden. Dabei kann die Kurzschlussfeder über entsprechende Ansätze, gegebenenfalls aber auch (allein) aufgrund einer gewissen Vorspannung, im Isolierkörper konfektioniert werden. Der Isolierkörper selbst kann in einen zugehörigen Gas-Generator eingeklebt werden.The insulating body can be pre-assembled with the short-circuit spring. It can the Short-circuit spring on appropriate approaches, but possibly also (alone) due a certain bias, be assembled in the insulating body. The insulator itself can be glued into an associated gas generator.
Die Feder kann als kombinierte Biege- und/oder Torsionsfeder aufgebaut sein.The spring may be constructed as a combined bending and / or torsion spring.
Weitere Merkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Merkmalen der Unteransprüche sowie den sonstigen Anmeldungsunterlagen.Further features of the invention will become apparent from the features of the dependent claims and the other application documents.

der Bewegungsrichtung der Rastarme 18.1, 18.2 ist ( wenn diese in die Rastausnehmungen
20.1, 20.2 einfedern) ergibt sich, dass das für die Rastarme benötigte Bewegungsspiel in der
Bewegungsrichtung für die Rastarme 18.1, 18.2 liegt. Auf diese Weise kann die
Kurzschlussfeder 36 im Isolierkörper 30 konfektioniert werden, ohne die Stecköffnung in der
Dose vergrößern zu müssen.Since the U-legs 36u1, 36u2 substantially parallel to the latching arms 18.1, 18.2
run and the direction of movement of the contact tongues 36z1, 36z2 substantially equal
the direction of movement of the latching arms 18.1, 18.2 is (if this in the recesses
20.1, 20.2 compress) results in that the movement required for the locking arms in the
Movement direction for the latching arms 18.1, 18.2 is located. In this way, the
Short-circuit spring 36 are assembled in the insulating
Figur 6 zeigt die hülsenartigen Führungsmittel 40.1, 40.2 für die Kontaktfedern 14.1, 14.2
sowie -schematisch- daneben ein weiteres, hülsenartiges Kodier-Element 42, welches in eine
korrespondierende Ausnehmung 44 im Isolierkörper 30 einsetzbar ist, um eine exakte
Ausrichtung von Stecker 12 und Dose 10 zu erreichen.FIG. 6 shows the sleeve-like guide means 40.1, 40.2 for the contact springs 14.1, 14.2

Weitere Kodier-Elemente können daneben oder auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite der Führungsmittel 40.1, 40.2 angeordnet sein. Das oder die Kodier-Elemente verlaufen generell im Wesentlichen axial, das heißt in Steckrichtung. Sie können aus Vollmaterial bestehen oder Hohlkörper sein. Sie lassen sich nach Art von Stegen, Flügeln oder dergleichen gestalten. Das Justierelement nach Fig. 6 hat im Schnitt eine Evolventenform. Eine (generell) unsymmetrische Bauform der einzelnen Kodier-Elemente stellt sicher, dass korrespondierende Teile des Steckverbinders nicht falsch gesteckt werden.Other coding elements can be next to or on the opposite side of the Guide means 40.1, 40.2 be arranged. The coding element (s) generally run essentially axially, that is in the insertion direction. They can consist of solid material or Be hollow body. They can be designed in the manner of webs, wings or the like. The Adjusting element according to Fig. 6 has an involute on average. One (general) asymmetrical design of the individual coding elements ensures that Corresponding parts of the connector are not inserted incorrectly.
Die Führungsmittel 40.1, 40.2 sind vorne (am freien Ende) bei 40.3, 40.4 abgerundet. Zusammen können die nebeneinander angeordneten Führungsmittel 40.1, 40.2 eine pfeilartige oder domartige Geometrie an ihren freien Enden 40.3, 40.4 ergeben.The guide means 40.1, 40.2 are rounded at the front (at the free end) at 40.3, 40.4. Together, the juxtaposed guide means 40.1, 40.2 an arrow-like or dome-like geometry at their free ends 40.3, 40.4 result.
