Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Problemstellung zugrunde, solche, insbesondere aus der Fahrzeugtechnik bekannte Steckverbinder, vorzugsweise aber nicht ausschließlich zum Herstellen einer elektrischen Verbindung zwischen benachbarten Wagenkästen eines Schienenfahrzeugs, derart weiterzubilden, dass der Steckverbinder universell und nicht mehr projektorientiert eingesetzt werden kann. Gerade in der Schienenfahrzeugtechnik bereiten die bisher eingesetzten Elektrokontaktkupplungen zur Energie und/oder Signalübertragung in sofern gewisse Probleme, inwiefern durch die projektorientierte und spezielle Ausführung in Form von E-Kästen die gesamte Anordnung unflexibel zu handhaben ist. Beispielsweise ist das Austauschen von defekten Steckverbindungen, aber auch eine Änderung von Kontaktarten, etwa während der Projektphase oder auch im späteren Betrieb, bisher nur realisierbar, indem die gesamte Elektrokontaktkupplung ausgetauscht wird.The present invention is based on the problem, such, in particular the vehicle technology known connector, but preferably not exclusively for establishing an electrical connection between adjacent car bodies of a Rail vehicle, such that the connector universal and not more project-oriented can be used. Especially in rail vehicle technology prepare the previously used electrical contact couplings for energy and / or signal transmission certain problems, in so far as project-oriented and special Execution in the form of E-boxes to handle the entire arrangement inflexible is.

Auf der Grundlage der geschilderten Problemstellung lag der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Steckverbinder zum Herstellen einer elektrischen Verbindung, insbesondere zum Herstellen einer elektrischen Verbindung zwischen benachbarten Wagenkästen eines Schienenfahrzeuges der eingangs genannten Art derart weiterzubilden, dass der Steckverbinder universell und für eine breite Palette von verschiedenen Anforderungen einsetzbar ist, wobei projektspezifische Änderungen von Kontaktarten auch während des Betriebes schnell und ohne größeren Aufwand von Kosten bzw.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Steckverbinder der eingangs genannten Art durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.
Eine Trägerplatte ist quer zur Steckrichtung angeordnet ist und weist eine Anzahl Kontakte
und entsprechende Anzahl Komplementärkontakte auf, wobei die Kontakte einerseits
und die Komplementärkontakte andererseits symmetrisch zu einer senkrechten Spiegelachse
angeordnet sind.This object is achieved in a connector of the type mentioned by the features of the characterizing part of
Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung weist eine ganze Reihe wesentlicher Vorteile gegenüber dem aus der Stand der Technik bekannten und vorstehend erläuterten Steckverbinder auf. Durch die Verwendung einer Trägerplatte als Grundträger wird erreicht, dass die technische Ausführung der Elektrokontaktkupplung unabhängig von der jeweiligen Anwendung realisierbar ist. Auf der Basis der Trägerplatte wird erreicht, dass die ausgeführte elektrische Steckverbindung nicht mehr, wie bisher üblich, in abgeschlossenen und projektspezifisch konstruierten E-Kästen ausgeführt werden. Dieses ist eine Grundvoraussetzung dafür, dass es dem Anwender möglich ist, auf Basis dieser Trägerplatte verschiedene Steckverbindungen variabel anzuordnen. Der Steckverbinder der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt somit als modulare Ausführung vor. Die Kontakte und zugehörigen Komplementärkontakte sind in dieser Ausführung symmetrisch zu einer senkrechten Spiegelachse angeordnet. In dieser Ausführung können zwei identische Steckverbinder zusammengekuppelt werden, ohne dass unterschieden werden muss, ob der Steckverbinder als vorspringendes Teil bzw. als aufnehmendes Teil ausgeführt ist.The solution according to the invention contrasts with a number of significant advantages the known from the prior art and explained above connector. By using a carrier plate as a basic carrier is achieved that the technical Execution of the electrical contact coupling independent of the respective application is feasible. On the basis of the carrier plate is achieved that the executed electrical plug connection no longer, as usual, in closed and project specific constructed e-boxes are executed. This is a basic requirement that it is possible for the user, based on this carrier plate different Variably arrange connectors. The connector of the present invention is thus available as a modular design. The contacts and associated complementary contacts are symmetrical in this embodiment to a vertical mirror axis arranged. In this version, two identical connectors can be coupled together without having to distinguish whether the connector is as projecting part or designed as a receiving part.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.
Eine konstruktive Realisierung für die Kontakte bzw. Komplementärkontakte besteht darin, dass eine zum Herstellen einer elektrischen Verbindung eine Stecker-Buchsen Anordnung (Industrieanschluss) gewählt wird, die sich in der Industrie bereits bewährt hat. Hier sind selbstverständlich aber auch andere konstruktive Maßnahmen denkbar.A constructive realization for the contacts or complementary contacts exists in that one for making an electrical connection is a male connector assembly (Industrial connection) is chosen, which has already proven itself in the industry. Of course, other design measures are also conceivable here.
Vorzugsweise sind die Kontakte und Komplementärkontakte auf der Trägerplatte angeordnet. Dieses erleichtert zum einen die Herstellung derartiger Steckverbinder, da die Trägerplatte als Grundträger in Kombination mit den Kontakten und Komplementärkontakten als Modul gefertigt werden kann. Zum anderen schützt die Trägerplatte in dieser Ausführungsform die Kontakte und Komplementärkontakte vor mechanischen Belastungen, wie etwa quer zur Steckverbindung auftretenden Zugkräften, da die Trägerplatte diese Kräfte von den elektrischen Kontakten ableitet. Preferably, the contacts and complementary contacts are arranged on the carrier plate. This facilitates on the one hand the production of such connectors, since the Carrier plate as a basic carrier in combination with the contacts and complementary contacts can be manufactured as a module. On the other hand protects the carrier plate in this Embodiment the contacts and complementary contacts against mechanical loads, such as pulling forces occurring transversely to the connector, since the carrier plate derives these forces from the electrical contacts.
Eine vorteilhafte Ausführungsvariante des Steckverbinders besteht darin, dass die Kontakte und Komplementärkontakte im entsprechenden Löchern in der Trägerplatte aufgenommen sind. Bei dieser Ausführungsform ist die Integration der Kontakte bzw. Komplementärkontakte in der Trägerplatte besonders einfach zu realisieren. In der Regel sind, falls auf Standardbauteile der Industrie zurückgegriffen wird, die üblicherweise benutzten Kontakte bzw. Komplementärkontakte bereits zur Aufnahme in einer Lochanordnung ausgeführt. Eine Befestigungsvorrichtung der Kontakte bzw. Komplementärkontakte für eine Integration in Form einer Lochanordnungen ist von daher in den meisten Fällen bereits vorhanden. Dadurch kann bei der Fertigung der erfindungsgemäßen Steckverbindung auf standardmäßig eingesetzten Kontakten bzw. Komplementärkontakte zurückgegriffen werden, wodurch die Herstellungskosten derartiger Steckverbinder deutlich reduziert wird. Des weiteren bietet eine Lochanordnung einen guten mechanischen Halt der Kontakt bzw. Komplementärkontakte. Insbesondere bei mechanisch stark beanspruchten Verbindungen ist der erfindungsgemäße Steckverbinder in dieser Ausführungsform einsetzbar, da hier die mechanische Belastung der elektrischen Kontakte und Komplementärkontakte weitestgehend reduziert werden kann und eventuell auftretende Querkräfte über die Lochanordnung direkt auf die Trägerplatte weitergeleitet werden.An advantageous embodiment of the connector is that the contacts and complementary contacts received in the corresponding holes in the carrier plate are. In this embodiment, the integration of the contacts or complementary contacts in the carrier plate particularly easy to implement. As a rule, if standard components of the industry are used which are commonly used Contacts or complementary contacts already for inclusion in a hole arrangement executed. A fastening device of the contacts or complementary contacts for an integration in the form of a hole arrangements is therefore already in most cases available. As a result, in the production of the connector according to the invention recourse to standard contacts or complementary contacts be, whereby the manufacturing cost of such connector significantly reduced becomes. Furthermore, a hole arrangement provides a good mechanical hold the Contact or complementary contacts. Especially with mechanically stressed Connections is the connector according to the invention can be used in this embodiment, because here the mechanical load of the electrical contacts and complementary contacts can be largely reduced and possibly occurring lateral forces be forwarded directly to the carrier plate via the hole arrangement.
Vorzugsweise sind die Kontakte und Komplementärkontakte von der Rückseite der Trägerplatte zugänglich. Über Industrieanschlüsse können in dieser Ausführungsform am hinteren offenen Ende die Kabel an die einzelnen Steckverbindungen angeschlossen werden. Durch diese Ausführung ist zum einen eine physische Trennung von unterschiedlichen Kontakttypen besonders gut durchzuführen. Beispielsweise können Datensignalleitungen an diesen Kontakten bzw. Komplementärkontakten angeschlossen werden, die möglichst entfernt von den Kontakten bzw. Komplementärkontakten liegen, die mit Leitungskabeln verbunden sind. Dadurch wird die Beeinflussung der Datensignale durch die eventuell gepulsten Leistungskabel erheblich reduziert. Zum anderen ist es möglich, Bus- und Datenleitungen an abgeschirmte Kontakte anzuschließen. Durch die Zugänglichkeit der Kontakte bzw. Komplementärkontakte von der Rückseite der Trägerplatte ist es des weiteren möglich, eventuell defekte Steckverbindungen auszutauschen. Es muss also in diesem Fall nicht mehr die gesamte Elektrokontaktkupplung ersetzt werden, wie es etwa bei Steckverbindungen der bekannten Art üblich war. Insbesondere erweist sich eine Zugänglichkeit der Kontakte und Komplementärkontakte von der Rückseite der Trägerplatte dann als Vorteil, wenn im Betrieb Kontaktarten verändert werden müssen. Insbesondere in der Projektphase ist dies ein häufig anzuwendender Vorgang. Die modulare Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Steckverbinders ermöglichst es dem Anwender, verschiedene Steckverbindungen variabel anzuordnen bzw. auszutauschen.Preferably, the contacts and complementary contacts are from the back of the carrier plate accessible. About industrial connections can in this embodiment on rear open end the cables are connected to the individual connectors. On the one hand, this design provides a physical separation of different ones To carry out contact types particularly well. For example, data signal lines be connected to these contacts or complementary contacts, the as far away from the contacts or complementary contacts that lie with cable lines are connected. This will affect the data signals through the possibly pulsed power cables significantly reduced. On the other hand, it is possible to and connect data lines to shielded contacts. By accessibility the contacts or complementary contacts of the back of the carrier plate is the further possible, possibly defective plug connections to exchange. So it has to be in In this case, no longer the entire electrical contact coupling to be replaced, as it is was common in connectors of the known type. In particular, an accessibility proves the contacts and complementary contacts from the back of the carrier plate then as an advantage if contact types have to be changed during operation. Especially This is a common process in the project phase. The modular embodiment The connector according to the invention enables the user to different Variably arrange or replace plug-in connections.
In einer möglichen Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Steckverbinders ist eine Zentriereinrichtung zur Eigenzentrierung zweier beim Herstellen der Steckverbindung miteinander zu verkuppelnder Steckverbinder ausgeführt. Hierfür sind zwei Zentrierorgane an dem Steckverbinder vorgesehen, die beim Kupplungsvorgang mit der komplementären Zentriereinrichtung des zu verkuppelnden Steckverbinders in Verbindung treten. Der Vorteil dieser Ausführungsform liegt darin, die beim Kupplungsvorgang auftretenden Querkräfte weitestgehend vermieden werden, wodurch eine mechanische Belastung der Kontakte bzw. der Komplementärkontakte möglichst klein gehalten wird. Vorteilhaft ist in dieser Ausführungsform, dass die Zentriereinrichtung beim Kupplungsvorgang eigenständig arbeitet, wodurch der Kupplungsvorgang weitestgehend selbständig abläuft und ohne Aufwand und besondere Aufmerksamkeit von seiten des Anwenders durchzuführen ist.In a possible embodiment of the connector according to the invention is a Centering device for self-centering two when making the connector executed to be coupled together connector. For this purpose, two Zentrierorgane provided on the connector, which in the coupling process with the complementary Centering of the verkuppelnden connector in conjunction to step.

Beide Zentrierorgane sind vorzugsweise auf der Trägerplatte spiegelsymmetrisch angeordnet. Der Vorteil dieser Ausführungsform ist, dass Zentrierstifte bzw. Zentrierbuchsen als Zentrierorgane bereits erprobt sind, so dass auf technische Erfahrung zurückgegriffen werden kann und zusätzlich bei der Herstellung des erfindungsgemäßen Steckverbinders auf Standardbauteile zurückgegriffen werden kann. Dadurch, dass die beiden Zentrierorgane (Zentrierstift, Zentrierbuchse) symmetrisch zur senkrechten Längsmittelebene des Kontaktspiegels der Trägerplatte angeordnet sind, ist des weiteren die modulare Ausführung des gesamten Steckverbinders gegeben.A constructive realization of the centering used in the centering is that a centering pin or complementary centering used becomes. Both Zentrierorgane are preferably mirror-symmetrical on the support plate arranged. The advantage of this embodiment is that centering pins or centering bushes have already been tried as Zentrierorgane, so resorting to technical experience can be and additionally in the production of the inventive Connector can be used on standard components.

So können beispielsweise Leitungen zur Übertragung von Energie, Luftdruckleitungen, Signalleitungen oder Leitungen zur Übertragung von Daten angeschlossen werden. Dabei sind sowohl faseroptische Kontakte bzw. Komplementärkontakte als auch Kontakte bzw. Komplementärkontakte für TV-Signale und Videosignale ohne Aufwand in dem erfindungsgemäßen Steckverbinder integrierbar. Insbesondere bei der Verwendung des Steckverbinders in komplexen Anlagen, beispielsweise in Schnellbahnzügen, ist es im zunehmenden Masse erforderlich, eine große Anzahl von Signalen und Daten zu übertragen, wodurch immer häufiger faseroptische Übertragungsmittel genutzt werden. Dadurch ist die erfindungsgemäßen Steckverbindung in dieser Ausführungsform besonders für solche komplexen Anlagen mit großem Datentransfer geeignet.Another advantage proves that the contacts or complementary contacts of the invention Connector can represent any contact types.

Dadurch ist eine einfache und günstige Ausbildung und Anordnung gefunden, den erfindungsgemäßen Steckverbinder mit der in der Schienenfahrzeugtechnik eingesetzten mechanischen Kurzkupplungen zu kombinieren. Hier sind selbstverständlich aber auch andere konstruktive Maßnahmen denkbar.When using the connector according to the invention to car bodies by means of so-called "short couplings" coupled to each other, there is a constructive realization in that on guide rods, which run in the direction of insertion, a sliding movement the connector is permitted in the plugging direction.

Das Dämpfungsglied ermöglicht es, dass auch das Zusammenkuppeln der Steckverbinder ohne besondere Aufwendung bzw. Aufmerksamkeit des Anwenders durchgeführt werden kann. Die Realisierung dieses Dämpfungsgliedes kann beispielsweise durch eine Feder, aber auch durch einen gashydraulischen Puffer, etc. erfolgen. Hierbei können auf bereits erprobte Dämpfungsglieder zurückgegriffen werden. Selbstverständlich sind aber auch andere konstruktive Maßnahmen denkbar.When using the connector according to the invention in combination with the mechanical short couplings, it proves to be an advantage, a regenerative attenuator to use, which is the sliding movement of the connector during the coupling process attenuates.
