Definitions

  • the invention relates to a waterproof connector according to the features the preamble of claim 1.
  • Waterproof connectors that act as a plug (male part) or socket (female part) are known.
  • a housing contact partner such as pins or sockets, arranged electrically connected to a supply line, in particular a round cable are.
  • This round cable is connected by a gasket on the sheathing arranged sealingly against the housing of the connector.
  • active Locking in which after inserting the contact partner in the housing still a locking element must be operated manually to the contact partner in to fix its position. This requires a lot of effort because of the manufacture of the waterproof connector, this additional assembly step is required. It is also necessary to add this additional locking element to be arranged in a sealed manner in the plug connectors in order to make them overall watertight To be able to implement plug connection.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of a waterproof To provide connectors in which the tightness is achieved with simple means can be and at the same time additional steps to fix the position Contact partners in the connector can be omitted.
  • one Contact sleeve receives the contact carrier, provided that the contact carrier over Connection means is connected to the contact sleeve.
  • the connecting means are designed such that the Contact carrier in a predetermined defined position in the contact sleeve is fixed in position.
  • the connecting means are, for example, as one Snap connection formed, at least partially, but especially completely around the scope of the contact carrier and the associated areas of Contact sleeve are formed.
  • the locking connection is designed such that a waterproof seal between the contact carrier and the contact sleeve is produced, i.e. the connecting means are simultaneously designed as a sealing means are.
  • the latching connection is completely circumferential, for example around the contact carrier and the corresponding areas of the contact sleeve available.
  • there are additional sealants for example in the form an elastically deformable seal (sealing ring) is available.
  • FIG. 1 shows a contact sleeve 1 as part of the watertight plug connection, which consists of plastic and in a corresponding process (for example Injection molding process) is made.
  • This contact sleeve 1 has one Recording area 2 for a counterpart. That is, if the connector as Plug is formed, is in the receiving area 2 as a counterpart appropriate socket inserted.
  • the contact sleeve 1 has a Implementation 3 for the electrical line and for receiving on the electrical line arranged seal.
  • a contact carrier used in a recording room 4 (see Figures 2 and 3) a contact carrier used.
  • section A-A the corresponding top view for the contact sleeve 1 is shown in FIG shown, from which it can be seen that this connector in two levels several Has contact partners side by side.
  • the number of contact partners as well as the Levels are exemplary and can vary accordingly.
  • contact sleeve 1 has a paragraph 5 at the end of the implementation 3, with less Distance to paragraph 5 at least one (especially with a round plug radially circumferential) projection 6, which is part of the connecting means and if necessary. represents the sealant is arranged.
  • FIG 2 shows a contact carrier 7, both in plan view and in section A-A.
  • the contact carrier 7 is a so-called has passive locking element 8.
  • This locking element 8 is on arranged the contact carrier 7 and is in a manufacturing process with the Contact carrier 7 made. The operation of the locking element is in Explained in connection with the description of Figure 4.
  • the contact carrier 7 has, in particular, a circumferential recess 9, which the Arrangement and design of the at least one projection 6 on the Contact sleeve 1 corresponds. Furthermore, the contact carrier 7 has one Contact partner reception room 10.
  • Figure 3 shows that the contact carrier 7 is inserted into the contact sleeve 1. Is to again a top view and a section A-A are shown. As per the illustration Detail B can be seen that when inserting the contact carrier 7 in the contact sleeve 1 from the direction of the receiving area 2 of the contact carrier 7 on the paragraph 5 of the Contact sleeve 1 comes to rest. So that when inserting the contact carrier 7 in the contact sleeve 1 given a stop. Paragraph 5 is circulating or only on some positions available.
  • the projection 6 simultaneously engages in the associated recess 9, whereby the contact carrier 7 relative to the Contact sleeve 1 can be sealed (if this locking connection at the same time Has a sealing function) and is therefore defined in this.
  • a transition region 11 is also identified, from which it can be seen is that the geometric shape of the implementation 3, in particular its Diameter, to the geometric shape of the contact partner receiving space 10, in particular also to its diameter. This vote, in particular a rejuvenation of the contact partner receiving space 10 a simple introduction of the contact partner into his recording room 10.
  • Figure 4 shows the assembled connector into which a contact partner 12 with his electrical line 13 and its seal 14 has been used.
  • the contact partner 12 is known at the electrically conductive end of the Line 13 arranged, in particular crimped. Simultaneously or subsequently the line 13 with the radial circumferential seal 14 and on this established.
  • This pre-assembled end of the electrical line 13 is through the Implementation 3 guided in the direction of the contact partner receiving space 10 until the Seal 14 completely inserted into the bushing 3 and thus sealing is arranged.
  • This is the exterior of the connector compared to that Sealing area 2 sealed.
  • a simple locking is given when the Contact partner 12 has a spring tab, which when inserted into the Contact carrier 7 or pressed into the contact sleeve 1 and after the End position is reached, on a shoulder, a projection, a recess or the like comes to the plant.
  • a double Locking is when inserting the contact partner 12 with a slope provided passive locking element slightly pushed outwards and due to biased to its geometric design.
  • the pressed-back locking element 8 can return to its starting position (as shown in Figure 2) by placing it behind a paragraph, a Projection, a recess or the like on or in the contact partner 12 intervenes. This makes the contact partner 12 without a manual intermediate step sealed.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 show an alternative embodiment of the contact sleeve 1 and of the contact carrier 7 shown, with the same elements or the same functions with the same reference numerals as in Figures 1 to 4 have been provided.
  • the contact carrier 7 of FIG. 5 is also via the receiving area 2 inserted into the contact sleeve 1, with the sealing of the contact carrier 7 a radially circumferential seal 15 with respect to the contact sleeve 11 (see detail B) is provided.
  • FIG. 6 shows, in an alternative manner to FIG. 4, how the contact partner 12 in the Contact carrier 7 is arranged, sealed and locked.
  • FIG. 7 shows a connector in the assembled state, wherein the contact sleeve 1 has an upper collar over which the contact sleeve 1 is connected to the contact carrier 7.
  • This connection is at least partially in particular completely (radially circumferential in the case of a round plug), wherein this connection is sealing and / or locking.
  • Snap connections can also be glued or welded connections, whereby can also be considered after the manufacture of the contact carrier 7 To overmold contact sleeve 1 or vice versa, namely after the manufacture of Contact sleeve 1 the contact carrier 7 into the contact sleeve 1 in one injection molding process contribute.
  • Figure 8 shows a connector that is constructed like the connector that in Figure 4 is shown.
  • the electrical line 13 shown in Figure 4 which here is designed as a round line
  • Figure 8 that instead of a round line a flat cable 17, which can be part of a ribbon cable, is used comes.
  • the flat cable can also be used for the connector variants are used, which are shown in Figures 6 and 7, respectively.
  • the Ribbon cable 17 is the seal 14 around the electrical flat conductor encapsulated surrounding carrier film or cover film. It may be necessary to do this before overmolding the ribbon cable, in which several electrical ribbon cables lie next to each other, separate in the longitudinal direction ("separate").
  • the area of the ribbon cable that extends into the contact sleeve 7 in Punch out the area between the electrical flat conductors.
  • the contact partner 12 by the passive locking element 8 set in the contact carrier 7, the Ribbon cable 17, for example by means of a crimp connection with the Contact partner 12 is connected.
