Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Steckverbinder zum Anschließen eines elektrischen Kabels, mit einem Gehäuse, einem vorkonfektioniert zusammen mit dem Kabel darin einsetzbaren RJ45-Stecker und einem Rastmittel zum Verrasten des Gehäuses in einer eine RJ45-Kupplung beinhaltenden Aufnahmeeinrichtung.The invention relates to a connector for connecting an electrical Cable, with a housing, a pre-assembled together with the cable insertable RJ45 plug and a locking device for locking the housing in a receiving device containing an RJ45 coupling.

RJ45-Stecker und -Kupplungen finden wegen ihrer hohen Übertragungsraten zunehmend Einsatz im Industriebereich. Dort sind jedoch Daten- und Steuergeräte in rauher Umgebung dezentral positioniert. Auch bei einem Einsatz geräteunabhängig für Schaltschrankdurchführungen muß mit einer rauhen Umgebung gerechnet werden, so daß für den Steckverbinder eine hohe Schutzart, beispielsweise IP67 nach DIN40050 gefordert wird, um ein Eindringen von Staub und Wasser zu verhindern.RJ45 plugs and couplings are increasingly used due to their high transmission rates Use in industrial areas. However, there are data and control devices in harsh environment decentrally positioned. Device-independent even when used A harsh environment must be expected for control cabinet bushings. so that the connector has a high degree of protection, for example IP67 DIN40050 is required to prevent dust and water from entering.

Bei einem bekannten Steckverbinder der gattungsgemäßen Art (DE 100 31 341 A1) kann zwar in vorteilhafter Weise mit einem vorkonfektioniert bereits mit dem Kabel verbundenen RJ45-Stecker gearbeitet werden, doch ist dort die gewünschte hohe Schutzart nicht verwirklicht. In a known connector of the generic type (DE 100 31 341 A1) can advantageously be pre-assembled with the Cable connected RJ45 plugs can be worked, but there is the desired one high degree of protection not realized.

Soweit Steckverbinderanordnungen mit hoher Schutzart im Verkehr sind, erfordert deren Verwirklichung eine mühsame und umständliche Montage, da zur Verwirklichung der hohen Schutzart ein Gewindering, ein Gleitring und eine Dichtung über das Kabel geschoben werden müssen. Das Kabel muß dann abisoliert und dann der Stecker angeschlagen werden, woraufhin die Teile zusammenzuschieben und zu veischrauben sind. Dabei hat in vielen Einsatzfällen das Abisolieren und Vercrimpen der dünnen Steuerleitungen mit einer Handzange in einem engen, schlecht beleuchteten Schaltschrank zu erfolgen. Auch Stecker mit isolationsdurchdringender Anschlagtechnik erleichtern den Montageaufwand nur unwesentlich.As far as connector arrangements with a high degree of protection are in traffic, required their implementation is a tedious and cumbersome assembly, because to achieve the high degree of protection includes a threaded ring, a slide ring and a seal the cable must be pushed. The cable must then be stripped and then the Plugs are struck, whereupon the parts are pushed together and closed are screwed. It has stripping and crimping in many applications the thin control lines with a pair of pliers in a tight, poorly lit area Control cabinet. Also plugs with insulation penetrating Stop technology only slightly simplify the assembly effort.

Ferner sei auf US 2002/022 392 A1 verwiesen, in dem ein Steckverbinder gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 offenbart wird.Reference is also made to US 2002/022 392 A1, in which a connector according to the preamble of Claim 1 is disclosed.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Steckverbinder der gattungsgemäßen Art zu schaffen, der bei Verwirklichung einer hohen Schutzart, beispielsweise IP 67, denkbar einfach zu montieren ist.The present invention has for its object a connector to create a generic type which, when a high degree of protection is achieved, for example IP 67, is very easy to install.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung besteht im wesentlichen darin, daß eine geteilte, von der Seite her auf das Kabel aufsetzbare Dichtung, ein geteilter, von der Seite her auf das Kabel aufsetzbarer Andruckring und eine zweischalige, über das Kabel setzbare Verschraubung vorgesehen sind, welch Letztere unter Anpressung des Andruckringes an die Dichtung und dabei Anpressung der Dichtung an einen gehäuseseitigen Anschlag in das Gehäuse einschraubbar ist.The solution according to the invention essentially consists in that a divided, a seal that can be attached to the cable from the side, a split seal from the side pressure ring that can be placed on the cable and a two-shelled, over the cable settable screw connection are provided, the latter by pressing the Pressure ring on the seal and thereby pressing the seal on a housing side Stop can be screwed into the housing.

Durch die Anpressung der Dichtung mittels des Andruckringes und der Verschraubung und dem gehäuseseitigen Anschlag läßt sich die gewünschte hohe Schutzart, beispielsweise IP67, verwirklichen. Dabei kann aber gleichzeitig in sehr vorteilhafter Weise mit einer vorkonfektionierten Kombination von Kabel und RJ45-Stecker gearbeitet werden. Für die Montage genügt es, diese vorkonfektionierte Stecker-Kabel-Kombination in das Gehäuse einzustecken, dann von der Seite her die Dichtung und den Andruckring sowie die beiden Halbschalen der Verschraubung auf das Kabel zu setzen und die Verschraubung in das Gehäuse einzuschrauben. Insbesondere entfällt damit das Abisolieren und Vercrimpen von RJ45-Stecker und - Kabel vor Ort unter schwierigen Bedingungen. Die geschilderte steckerseitige Montage kann auch ohne Werkzeug durchgeführt werden. By pressing the seal using the pressure ring and the screw connection and the housing-side stop, the desired high degree of protection can be for example IP67. But at the same time it can be very advantageous Way with a pre-assembled combination of cable and RJ45 connector be worked. This pre-assembled plug-cable combination is sufficient for assembly insert into the housing, then the seal from the side and the pressure ring and the two half-shells of the screw connection to put the cable and screw the screw connection into the housing. In particular this eliminates the stripping and crimping of RJ45 plugs and - Cables on site under difficult conditions. The described connector side Assembly can also be carried out without tools.

Weitere bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen sind in Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet. In besonders vorteilhafter weiterer Ausgestaltung hat der geteilte Andruckring einen runden Querschnitt. Dies bewirkt, daß die von ihm beaufschlagte Dichtung, die beispielsweise als Ring mit etwa quadratischem Querschnitt ausgeführt werden kann, beim Verpressen sowohl gegen den gehäuseseitigen Anschlag gedrückt wird, wie aber auch nach außen gegen eine angrenzende Gehäusewandung sowie nach innen auf das Kabel. Dies bewirkt, daß auf einfache Weise die hohe Schutzart zu verwirklichen ist. Es hat sich dabei als zweckmäßig erwiesen, auf der entsprechenden Seite der zweischaligen Verschraubung eine umlaufende prismatische Ausnehmung vorzusehen, in der der Andruckring liegt. Die Anordnung kann dabei so getroffen werden, daß bei dieser Verpressung gleichzeitig die vorgesehene Zugentlastung betätigt wird.Further preferred configurations are characterized in the subclaims. In The split pressure ring has a particularly advantageous further embodiment round cross section. This causes the seal that he applies, the for example as a ring with an approximately square cross-section can be pressed against the housing-side stop when pressing, but also to the outside against an adjacent housing wall and to inside of the cable. This causes the high degree of protection to be increased in a simple manner is realized. It has proven to be useful on the corresponding A circumferential prismatic recess on the two-shell screw connection to be provided in which the pressure ring lies. The arrangement can be so be taken that the intended strain relief at the same time with this pressing is operated.

In weiterer besonders zweckmäßiger Ausgestaltung sind die zwei Schalen der Verschraubung jeweils mit einem zweigängigen Gewinde versehen, so daß zur Vereinfachung der Herstellung mit zwei identischen Halbschalen gearbeitet werden kann.In a further particularly expedient embodiment, the two shells are the screw connection each provided with a two-start thread, so that for simplification manufacturing can be carried out with two identical half-shells.

Aufgrund des vorstehend geschilderten grundsätzlichen Aufbaus der Stecker ist der Einsatz verschiedener Kabeldurchmesser und verschiedener Kabelgeometrien möglich. Es können dabei allenfalls separate Dichtungs- und Zugentlastungssätze notwendig werden.Due to the basic structure of the connector described above, the Different cable diameters and different cable geometries can be used. Separate sealing and strain relief kits may be necessary become.

In weiterer bevorzugter und besonders zweckmäßiger Ausgestaltung beinhaltet die Aufnahmeeinrichtung einen Flansch, der an der Wand eines Schaltschrankes oder der Gehäusewand eines elektrischen Gerätes festgelegt werden kann, beispielsweise auch unter Zwischenlegung einer Dichtung, und der andererseits eine Rastaufnahme für eine einzurastende RJ45-Kupplung aufweist.In a further preferred and particularly expedient embodiment, the Pick-up device a flange that on the wall of a control cabinet or the housing wall of an electrical device can be fixed, for example also with the interposition of a seal, and on the other hand a snap-in holder for a snap-in RJ45 coupling.

Es können somit je nach Bedarfsfall geschirmte oder ungeschirmte RJ45-Kupplungen eingesetzt werden. Der Flansch kann auf einfache Weise mit einem Schraubendreher mit Hilfe entsprechender Schrauben am Blech befestigt werden. Statt der Verschraubung ist der Einsatz abdichtender Blindniete grundsätzlich möglich. Die Abmessungen sowohl flanschsseitig wie steckerseitig wie auch bezüglich der Steckerlänge lassen sich klein halten. Anstelle der Einsteckung des Gehäuses samt RJ45-Stecker in die entsprechende Aufnahme des Flansches läßt sich bei nicht eingestecktem Stecker eine Flanschabdeckung im Sinne der Verwirklichung einer hohen Schutzart einsetzen.Depending on requirements, shielded or unshielded RJ45 couplings can be used be used. The flange can easily with a Screwdrivers are attached to the sheet metal using the appropriate screws. Instead of the screw connection, sealing blind rivets can be used. The dimensions on the flange side as well as on the connector side as well as in terms of the connector length can be kept small. Instead of inserting the housing together with RJ45 plug in the corresponding receptacle of the flange can be not plugged in a flange cover in the sense of realization use a high degree of protection.

Der Steckverbinder beinhaltet steckerseitig ein im wesentlichen rundes Gehäuse 1 sowie die für die Montage bereits vorkonfektionierte Kombination eines RJ45-Steckers 2 mit einem Kabel 3. Steckerseitig ist ferner eine Dichtung 4 vorgesehen, die im Ausführungsbeispiel als geschlitzter Dichtring etwa quadratischen Querschnittes ausgebildet ist. Es ist ferner ein Andruckring 5 vorgesehen, der ebenfalls geschlitzt ist und der in seinem Querschnitt rund ausgebildet ist. Die Ausgestaltung ist so getroffen, daß sowohl die Dichtung 4 wie der Andruckring 5 von der Seite her auf das Kabel aufgesetzt werden können. Es ist steckerseitig ferner eine aus zwei Halbschalen bestehende Verschraubung 6 vorgesehen sowie ein Rastmittel 7, das im wesentlichen aus einem Ring mit angeformten Rastbeinen besteht. The plug connector contains an essentially round housing 1 on the plug side as well as the pre-assembled combination of an RJ45 connector 2 with a cable 3. A seal 4 is also provided on the plug side, which in the exemplary embodiment as a slotted sealing ring approximately square cross-section is trained. There is also a pressure ring 5, which is also is slotted and which is round in cross section. The design is made so that both the seal 4 and the pressure ring 5 from the side forth can be placed on the cable. There is also an off on the connector side two half-shells existing screw 6 provided and a locking means 7, which essentially consists of a ring with molded locking legs.

Für die steckerseitige Montage wird zunächst das Rastmittel 7 mit seinem Ring auf einen entsprechenden Aufnahmeabschnitt am hinteren Ende des Gehäuses 1 gesteckt, und zwar gegen eine kleine Anschlagschulter 8. Die Rastbeine des Rastmittels 7 tragen an ihrem vorderen Ende nach unten innen weisende verbreiterte Abschnitte 9, die wiederum an ihren frei auslaufenden vorderen Enden nach oben auβen weisende Rastnasen 10 haben. Unterseitig sind an die Verbreiterungen 9 ausgehend von unterhalb der Rastnasen 10 Federn 11 angeformt, deren Funktion nachfolgend im Zusammenhang mit der Schilderung der Verrastung beschrieben wird.For assembly on the plug side, the locking means 7 with its ring is first opened inserted a corresponding receiving section at the rear end of the housing 1, namely against a small stop shoulder 8. The locking legs of the locking means 7 carry at their front end downward widened sections 9, which in turn face upwards at their free front ends have facing detents 10. On the underside, the widenings 9 start molded from below the locking lugs 10 springs 11, their function below is described in connection with the description of the latching.

Für die Verbreiterungen 9 samt Rasthaken 10 und Federn 11 ist im vorderen Bereich des Gehäuses 1 jeweils eine entsprechende Aussparung 12 vorgesehen.For the widenings 9 together with locking hooks 10 and springs 11 is in the front area of the housing 1 each have a corresponding recess 12.

Es wird nun die vorkonfektionierte Kombination aus RJ45-Stecker 2 und Kabel 3 von hinten in das Gehäuse 1 eingesteckt. Zur Führung und Festlegung hat das Gehäuse 1 im vorderen Endbereich eine Führungskontur 13 für den durchtretenden RJ45-Stecker 2. Das Gehäuse weist ferner einen die Einstecktiefe begrenzenden Anschlag 14 für den RJ45-Stecker auf und besitzt ferner noch eine Hinterclipsung 15 für den RJ45-Stecker.Now the pre-assembled combination of RJ45 connector 2 and cable 3 inserted into the housing 1 from behind. The housing has for guidance and fixing 1 in the front end area a guide contour 13 for the passing RJ45 connector 2. The housing also has an insertion depth limit Stop 14 for the RJ45 connector and also has a rear clip 15 for the RJ45 connector.

Es wird nunmehr von der Seite her die geteilte Dichtung 4 in Form des geschlitzten Dichtringes auf das Kabel gesteckt, ferner der geschlitzte Andruckring 5. Es werden dann die beiden Halbschalen der Verschraubung 6 über das Kabel gesetzt und mit Rastzapfen verclipst. Die beiden Halbschalen sind vorderseitig jeweils mit einem zweigängigen Gewinde 16 versehen, so daß die beiden Halbschalen identisch ausgebildet werden können. Im hinteren inneren Endbereich des Gehäuses 1 ist ein entsprechendes Gegengewinde vorgesehen. Mit dem Einschrauben der zweischaligen Verschraubung 6 in das Gehäuse 1 wird die Dichtung 4 über den Andruckring 5 gegen eine gehäuseseitig vorgesehene Anschlagschulter 17 gepreßt.It is now from the side of the split seal 4 in the form of the slotted Sealing ring placed on the cable, also the slotted pressure ring 5. There will be then the two half-shells of the screw 6 placed over the cable and clipped with locking pin. The two half-shells are each with one on the front provided two-start thread 16 so that the two half-shells are identical can be trained. In the rear inner end region of the housing 1 is a appropriate counter thread provided. By screwing in the double-shell Screw 6 in the housing 1, the seal 4 on the pressure ring 5 pressed against a stop shoulder 17 provided on the housing side.

Da der Andruckring im Querschnitt rund ist, wird bei der Verpressung die Dichtung 4 nicht nur gegen die Anschlagschulter 17 gedrückt. Sie wird auch nach außen gegen die umgebende Wandungskontur der Innenwand des Gehäuses 1 gepreßt, sowie auch gegen das Kabel 3. Hierdurch wird sehr zuverlässig mit einfachen Mitteln die hohe Schutzart, beispielsweise IP67, verwirklicht. Since the pressure ring is round in cross-section, the seal becomes during pressing 4 not only pressed against the stop shoulder 17. It also becomes external pressed against the surrounding wall contour of the inner wall of the housing 1, as well as against the cable 3. This makes it very reliable with simple means the high degree of protection, for example IP67.

Zugleich erfolgt durch diesen Vorgang auch die zusätzliche Festlegung des RJ45-Steckers an den gehäuseseitigen Anschlag 14, mit der etwaige Fertigungstoleranzen im Bereich von Anschlag 14 und Hinterclipsung 15 ausgeglichen werden.At the same time, this process also defines the RJ45 connector to the housing-side stop 14, with any manufacturing tolerances be compensated in the area of stop 14 and rear clip 15.

In der vorderen Stirnfläche der beiden Halbschalen der Verschraubung 6 befindet sich eine umlaufende prismatische Ausnehmung 18, in der der Andruckring 5 liegt. Dies bewirkt eine sehr gute Kraftübertragung und Führung des Andruckringes 5.Located in the front end face of the two half-shells of the screw 6 there is a circumferential prismatic recess 18 in which the pressure ring 5 lies. This results in very good power transmission and guidance of the pressure ring 5.
