Definitions

  • the invention relates to a power plug for plugging into a power outlet, with a plug body and at least two plug contacts different standardization, each having two electrically conductive pins and pushed into an active position from the plug body and slidable into a passive position in the plug body.
  • This multi-pin connector has a first plug contact which, depending on the position of the contact pins, can comply with the US and Australian standards, a second which, depending on the position of the plug contact, can comply with the standards of Germany or other European countries, a third, that of the British Standard , as well as a fourth, which corresponds to the Italian standard.
  • the British plug contact has at the bottom of the plug body two pins and uppermost on the plug body an opener without electrical contact. Between the opener and the contact pins of the British plug contact three other sliding plug contacts are arranged.
  • the opener of the British plug contact is related to the contact pins, the other plug contacts a running in the sliding direction, centrally located slot through which a connecting web between plug contacts and opener extends.
  • the displaceable plug contacts of the other standards are split in half along an axis of symmetry of the plug except for a connecting web between the one and the other half. At each of these halves, an actuating lever is resiliently arranged.
  • actuating levers are displaceable in slots formed on both sides of the housing and engage in an active position of the plug-in contact on the housing.
  • the British plug contact has two operating levers in the symmetry axis of the plug, which engage in the same manner in the housing. Although the actuating lever of a plug contact lock this plug contact in its active or passive Position, but have no effect on the displacement of another plug contact.
  • a socket is formed on the back of the plug.
  • the electrical connection from plug to socket is done via two U-shaped conductors, which are in communication with the sockets of the socket.
  • conductive slider are formed, depending on the plug contact either on the inside or the outside slide on one of the two legs of the U-shaped conductor.
  • a disadvantage of this connector is that at the same time several plug contacts can be advanced from the housing. In order to prevent such an undesirable condition, it is proposed to provide a rotatable shutter which prevents the advancement of all plug-in contacts except a selected one. Alternatively, it is proposed that the tips consist of electrically insulating material. However, these proposed solutions are not further elaborated and not shown in the drawing.
  • plug contacts are under the terminal voltage as soon as a plug contact is connected to a power source.
  • the plug contact for Germany has an isolated, in the active position on the plug body projecting male body from which protrude the pins. If this plug contact is e.g. In Spain plugged into a socket without the recess corresponding to the male body, so another forward plug contact is freely accessible and is under tension.
  • a plug contact is not fully pushed into the active end position, the operating lever on the housing does not engage.
  • the plug contact can still be inserted.
  • the contact in the socket is then no longer guaranteed.
  • An electrical device plugged into the socket in the multiple intermediate plug can still be used. It can easily lead to repeated sparking in the socket, heating the socket and subsequently to a fire.
  • a power plug for plugging into a power outlet has a housing and at least two plug contacts different standardization, which are mounted displaceably in the housing. These plug contacts each have at least two electrically conductive contact pins.
  • the plug contacts are displaceable in an active position and a passive position. The contact pins are pushed out of the housing into the active position and into the housing into the passive position.
  • the stated object is achieved in that a movable relative to the housing, cooperating with the plug contacts locking device is provided which opens the sliding path of the passive in the active position in different positions each a single plug contact.
  • the locking device obstructs the sliding path or the other plug contacts, since the mobility of the locking device is limited by the plug contact outside the passive position such that the sliding of another plug contact from the passive to the active position prevented by the Arretiervoides held in the sliding path of the other plug contact is.
  • the locking device may e.g. be formed by a rotatable disc which releases the holes for a single plug contact in different rotational positions and conceals the other perforations.
  • the locking device on a number of independently movable locking body, which are arranged side by side and guided.
  • the dimensions of these locking body and their freedom of movement is such that only a single extension on a support member, advantageously the operating lever of a single plug contact finds place in one of the spaces between the switching parts.
  • the locking body are close to each other at the other interstices and thus prevent that another extension between the locking body can be performed. This makes it impossible that more than one plug contact is in the active position.
  • the locking body are advantageously identical, so that only one mold is needed for their production.
  • the locking body can be mounted pivotably or just be displaced. They are advantageously guided displaceably on a circular path.
  • the locking body are advantageously arranged within the housing. Since they are expediently guided on one side through the housing, the circular path is expedient for the shape of the housing.
  • the displacement in a guide has the advantage over the pivoting about an axis that the parts and their space requirements are smaller.
  • connection conductor in the active position of a plug contact are each electrically connected to a contact pin, and electrically in the passive position of the plug contact are separated from the contact pin.
  • the contact between connecting conductor and contact pin is interrupted. This makes it impossible to connect via a not correctly ejected plug contact a Strombetoolr. Thus, both the risk of fire due to sparks in the power outlet is significantly reduced.
  • two band-shaped connecting conductors are arranged on the housing on the inside of the plug surface and parallel thereto, which cooperate with contacts, which are electrically connected to the contact pins of the plug contacts via terminals.
  • the terminals are formed on the connection conductor and the contact of the contact pins are inserted into these terminals when advancing into the active position.
  • the plug contacts are locked in this position by the safety body.
  • each plug contact on a support member on which the contact pins are arranged In another embodiment of this contact in the active position, each plug contact on a support member on which the contact pins are arranged.
  • a contact surface which is conical to the contact pin is formed on each contact pin, advantageously from the side of the active position to the side of the passive position.
  • the tapered design of the contact surfaces allows the contact persons are resilient and the spring force the contact takers pushes away from the contact pin. This ensures that the contact persons outside the guide surfaces are no longer in contact with the contact pins.
  • the contactors are advantageously joined together with a socket and, e.g. connected by a welding point. This allows the use of two identical contacts and two identical sockets, which are only assembled differently.
  • the risk of accident with the power plug can be substantially reduced by a single, movable between a release and a fixation position safety body is provided in the fixation position located in the fixation position each located in the active position plug against unintentional sliding of the plug in the passive position guaranteed.
  • the safety body therefore fixes the ejected plug contact in the active position, whereby a proper contact between the contact pins and the power supply in a socket, in which the plug is inserted, is ensured.
  • the object stated at the outset is achieved by providing a safety body movable between a release position and a fixation position inside the housing. In the release position, this single safety body allows sliding of the plug contact and simultaneously narrows or closes at least one insertion opening. This makes it impossible to plug in a current collector, as long as the plug contact is not in the active position. As a result, it is also impossible to obtain power via a not properly inserted plug contact.
  • the safety body is displaceably mounted about a displacement path and has a number of transverse to the direction of displacement arranged holding rods.
  • the support rods cooperate with a transversely directed to the sliding direction guide side of the support rods with the support parts of the plug contacts.
  • On this guide side an incised end point is formed in front and behind each. Between the cut end points, a thickening projecting from the end points is formed. The supernatant of this thickening is a maximum of the length of the displacement distance of the safety body.
  • the front end point cooperates with the carrier part of the ejected plug-in contact, in the passive position of the plug contact, the rear terminal is combined with its carrier part. This ensures that the safety body is in the release position when there is a plug contact between the active and the passive position.
  • the thickening to the rear end point is running down obliquely diluted to the level of the terminal.
  • the rear end but can also be designed such that a stop prevents the plug-in contact to advance if it is not pressed from the outside n the release position.
  • the thickening towards the front end point points towards a shoulder directed parallel to the sliding direction.
  • the safety body has an actuating button, which protrudes through an opening in the housing. The relative to the housing resiliently mounted safety body can be pressed with the operating knob from the fixation in the release position. The spring force pushes him into the fixation position.
  • the multiple plug according to FIGS. 1 to 23 is a first exemplary embodiment of a multiple plug for a travel plug set.
  • the illustrated embodiment has four plug contacts of different standard, which are slidable into the housing and out of the housing and a socket for two connector standards, namely US and EU.

  • the overload fuse 67 is connected in the fifth embodiment according to Figures 35 to 42 such that all plug contacts are secured.
  • the metal part forming the plug-in socket 75 is inserted in one connecting conductor 172, while the metal part forming the other plug-in socket 73 is in contact with the rear end of the overload fuse 67.
  • the part 113 producing this connection is in pretension, and therefore erroneously connected to the Overload protection overlapped.
  • the front end of the overload protection 67 is in contact with an insert 115 in the closure cover 147, which insert 115 comes into contact with the connection conductor 171 when the closure cover 147 is screwed into the main part 13.
  • the male body 35 is guided in a dovetail 135 in the base part 13.
  • a driver 139 is formed on the EU plug contact 138, which retracts the male body 35 when the EU plug contact 138 is moved from the active to the passive position.
  • the safety body 81 is further guided with a dovetail on the lid 15.
  • connection conductors 171, and 172 are pressed with the central body 111 against the housing wall.
  • the connection conductors 171 and 172 each have 4 terminals 175. These terminals 175 have an insertion region and a clamping region.
  • At the plug contacts, or their support members 38,40,42 and 44 (shown is only the US plug contact 140 with the support member 40) are two contact 177, one for each contact pin 39 is formed. These contactors 177 are in electrical connection with a contact pin 39.
  • the multiple socket is composed of a plug part 181, a socket part 182 and a slide 185, as well as the electrically conductive parts.
  • the plug part 181 two pins 107 are formed.
  • the pins are made of plastic.
  • a current collector 183 is inserted into a cavity. This establishes the connection to the inserted plugs.
  • a contact spring is formed on each current collector 183 for each insertion opening. These sit in the plug-in sockets and contact the inserted pins on one Side of the contact pin. Between the formed in the plug part 181 plug-in sockets a slider 185 is slidably mounted.
  • This slider 185 covers the insertion according to UK standard.
  • the opener of a UK plug presses when inserted against an inclined sliding surface on the slider 185 and pushes it against the force of an integrally formed on the slide spring 187 from the openings for the UK contact pins closing position.
  • a reserve overload fuse 167 is also housed.
  • the travel plug set is shown plugged together. It can be seen in this figure that the latching nose 109 engages on the rear wall 87 of the safety body 81.
  • the electrical connections from the connection conductors 171, 172 via the overload protection 67 to the plug-in sockets according to the US standard are also evident as already described. Furthermore, the continuity of the insertion openings from the front of the multiple socket to the back of the multiple socket is visible.
  • FIGS. 43 and 44 schematically show two extended travel connector sets.
  • the multiple plug 11 shown here with only three sliding plug contacts.
  • the push-out plug contacts one of two plug-in sockets 73, 75 is shown.
  • the contact pins 189 or pins of the voltage converter 191 can be inserted.
  • the voltage converter may measure the voltage of the connected power supply and automatically switch to a set voltage. This desired voltage is connected to the plug-in sockets of the voltage converter. This can now be tapped with the pins 107 of the multiple socket 103 and is available in the plug-in sockets of the multiple socket available.
  • the voltage converter can also be combined with a current transformer. This is shown in FIG.
  • a DC connection 195 for a low-voltage receiver is present at the current converter 193.
  • the voltage of the outgoing direct current is adjustable.
  • the current transformer 193 has no plug-in sockets for the multiple socket 103, but only a DC low-voltage terminal 195.
  • the current transformer has in addition to DC connection a plug-in socket, which is connected to the voltage picked up by the multiple plug 11 in the mains socket. In this case, the current transformer 193 and a voltage converter 191 can be connected in series.
