Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen elektrischen winkelförmigen Steckverbinder mit einem elektrische Kontakte enthaltenden Isolierkörper, der in Gebrauchsstellung in einem ersten Winkelschenkel dieses Steckverbinders angeordnet und festgelegt ist, wobei die von dem Isolierkörper und den elektrischen Kontakten ausgehenden Leitungen durch einen zweiten Winkelschenkel des Steckverbinders zu einem Verbraucher oder zu einer Stromquelle hinter einer Wandung beispielsweise in einem Gehäuse verlaufen, an welcher der zweite Winkelschenkel in Gebrauchsstellung mit wenigstens einer Befestigungsschraube direkt oder indirekt gehalten ist, wobei eine Befestigungsschraube für den Steckverbinder gleichzeitig zur gegenseitigen Festlegung der beiden Winkelschenkel in Gebrauchsstellung dient.The invention relates to an electrical angle-shaped connector with an insulating body containing electrical contacts, which is arranged and fixed in the use position in a first angle leg of this connector, wherein the emanating from the insulating body and the electrical contacts lines through a second angle leg of the connector to a consumer or to a current source behind a wall, for example, in a housing, in which the second angle leg is held in the position of use with at least one fastening screw directly or indirectly, with a fastening screw for the connector serves for mutual fixing of the two angle legs in the use position.

Ein derartiger Steckverbinder ist aus DE 101 06 153 A1 bekannt und hat sich bewährt. Vorteilhaft ist bei diesem vorbekannten Steckverbinder, dass bei Verwendung von insgesamt vier Befestigungsschrauben, mit denen dieser an der Wandung eines Gehäuses montiert wird, zwei Befestigungsschrauben gleichzeitig dazu dienen, den ersten Winkelschenkel, der relativ zu dem zweiten Winkelschenkel bewegbar, nämlich verschwenkbar ist, in seiner winklig zu dem zweiten Winkelschenkel verlaufenden Gebrauchslage festzulegen. Bei diesem winkelförmigen Steckverbinder ist zusätzlich an der Außenseite des von den beiden Winkelschenkeln gebildeten Winkels eine Verbindung in Form eines über den Umriss überstehenden Gelenks vorgesehen, um die in Gebrauchslage flächig aneinanderliegenden Winkelschenkel fest miteinander zu verbinden.Such a connector is off DE 101 06 153 A1 known and has proven itself. It is advantageous in this prior art connector that when using a total of four mounting screws with which it is mounted on the wall of a housing, two mounting screws simultaneously serve the first angle leg, which is movable relative to the second angle leg, namely, pivotable in his set at an angle to the second angle leg extending position of use. In this angle-shaped connector is additionally provided on the outside of the angle formed by the two angle legs a connection in the form of a projecting over the contour of the joint, to connect the in use position flat adjacent angle leg firmly together.

Die Anordnung eines derartigen Gelenks erhöht die Herstellungs- und Montagekosten und bildet außerdem gegenüber dem eigentlichen Steckverbinder einen überstehenden Vorsprung, der je nach Platzbedarf und Anordnung störend sein kann.The arrangement of such a joint increases the manufacturing and assembly costs and also forms over the actual connector a protruding projection that can be annoying depending on the space required and arrangement.

Es besteht deshalb die Aufgabe, einen Steckverbinder der eingangs definierten Art zu schaffen, bei welchem der Vorteil erhalten bleibt, dass der erste Winkelschenkel mit dem zweiten Winkelschenkel mit Hilfe von wenigstens einer der Befestigungsschrauben für den gesamten Steckverbinder verbunden und verriegelt werden kann, wobei eine zusätzliche Verbindungsstelle in Form eines Gelenks vermieden werden soll.There is therefore the object to provide a connector of the type defined, in which the advantage is maintained that the first angle leg can be connected and locked to the second angle leg with the help of at least one of the mounting screws for the entire connector, with an additional Joint in the form of a joint should be avoided.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist der eingangs genannte Steckverbinder dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der zweite Winkelschenkel eine quer zu seinem Verlauf mündende Aufnahmeöffnung hat, in die ein Steckabschnitt des ersten Winkelschenkels einsteckbar ist und passt, und dass im Überdeckungs- oder Berührbereich der Innenseite der Aufnahmeöffnung des zweiten Schenkels mit dem Steckabschnitt des ersten Winkelschenkels eine quer zur axialen Erstreckung des ersten Winkelschenkels durchgehende Öffnung durch den zweiten Winkelschenkel bis zu dessen Auflage auf der Wandung zur Aufnahme einer Befestigungsschraube vorgesehen ist, die in dem Berührbereich jeweils mit einem Teil ihres Querschnitts etwa als Sekante wenigstens durch einen Teil des Querschnitts der Wand des Steckabschnitts des ersten Winkelschenkels verläuft, so dass die in Gebrauchsstellung durch diese durchgehende Öffnung verlaufende Befestigungsschraube gleichzeitig durch den Steckabschnitt verläuft und den ersten Winkelschenkel in axialer Richtung formschlüssig festlegt.To solve this problem, the above-mentioned connector is characterized in that the second angle leg has a transversely opening to its course receiving opening into which a plug-in portion of the first angle leg is inserted and fits, and that in the overlap or touch the inside of the receiving opening of the second Leg is provided with the plug portion of the first angle leg a transverse to the axial extent of the first angle leg opening through the second angle leg to its support on the wall for receiving a fastening screw in the contact area in each case with a portion of its cross section as a secant at least by a portion of the cross section of the wall of the plug portion of the first angle leg extends, so that in the position of use extending through this opening extending fastening screw simultaneously passes through the plug portion and the first angle leg el determines positively in the axial direction.

Dadurch ist es möglich, mit Hilfe einer Befestigungsschraube, die in die Wandung eines Maschinengehäuses oder dergleichen einschraubbar ist, gleichzeitig den Steckverbinder zu befestigen und den Berühr- beziehungsweise Befestigungsbereich des ersten Winkelschenkels an seinem Steckabschnitt zu erfassen und diesen in axialer Richtung formschlüssig festzulegen und zu verriegeln, ohne dass der Innenquerschnitt beziehungsweise die Innenlängshöhlung des ersten Winkelschenkels durch eine quer verlaufende Schraube nennenswert beeinträchtigt wird. Ein im Winkelbereich des Steckverbinders außenseitig überstehendes Gelenk wird vermieden. Dennoch können die beiden Winkelschenkel auch wieder von einander getrennt werden.This makes it possible, with the aid of a fastening screw in the wall of a machine housing or the like can be screwed, at the same time to secure the connector and capture the touch or mounting portion of the first angle leg at its mating portion and form-fitting set and lock it in the axial direction without the inner cross-section or the inner longitudinal cavity of the first angle leg significantly affected by a transverse screw becomes. A in the angular range of the connector on the outside protruding joint is avoided. Nevertheless, the two angle legs can also be separated from each other again.

Besonders günstig ist es, wenn im Berührbereich der Aufnahmeöffnung des zweiten Winkelschenkels zwei parallele durchgehende Öffnungen für Befestigungsschrauben vorgesehen sind, die mit einem Teil ihres Querschnitts in die Wand des Steckabschnitts des ersten Winkelschenkels in Gebrauchsstellung eingreifen und wenn zwei den ersten Winkelschenkel in Gebrauchsstellung erfassende Befestigungsschrauben vorgesehen sind. Entsprechende fest und sicher wird der erste Winkelschenkel in dem zweiten Winkelschenkel durch die Montage des gesamten Steckverbinders an einer Gehäusewandung festgelegt. Dabei können die beiden Befestigungsschrauben parallel zueinander verlaufen und an zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Stellen des Steckabschnitts in entsprechende Vertiefungen von dessen Wand eingreifen.It is particularly advantageous if two parallel through holes for fastening screws are provided in the contact region of the receiving opening of the second angle leg, which engage with a part of their cross section in the wall of the plug portion of the first angle leg in the use position and if two provided the first angle leg in use position mounting screws are. Corresponding firm and secure the first angle leg is set in the second angle leg by mounting the entire connector to a housing. In this case, the two fastening screws can extend parallel to one another and engage in corresponding recesses of its wall at two opposite points of the plug-in section.

Zusätzlich zu der/den dem ersten Winkelschenkel in Gebrauchsstellung an dem zweiten Winkelschenkel festlegenden Befestigungsschraube (n) kann an dem zweiten Winkelschenkel außerhalb des Verbindungsbereichs mit dem ersten Winkelschenkel wenigstens eine weitere Öffnung oder Bohrung für wenigstens eine weitere Befestigungsschraube vorgesehen sein. In vielen Fällen ist es wünschenswert, einen solchen Steckverbinder mit insgesamt vier Schrauben festzulegen, was auch dem entsprechenden Lochbild gemäß DE 101 06 153.6 A1 entspricht, so dass der erfindungsgemäße Steckverbinder auch an Stellen passt, an denen bisher der bekannte Steckverbinder vorgesehen ist.In addition to the / the first angle leg in the position of use at the second angle leg fixing screw (s) may be provided at least one further opening or bore for at least one further fastening screw on the second angle leg outside the connecting region with the first angle leg. In many cases, it is desirable to specify such a connector with a total of four screws, including the corresponding Hole pattern according to DE 101 06 153.6 A1 corresponds, so that the connector according to the invention also fits in places where previously the known connector is provided.

Der zweite Winkelschenkel kann eine würfel- oder quaderförmige Außenform haben, wobei eine Seitenfläche die Aufnahmeöffnung für den ersten Winkelschenkel aufweisen kann. Dies erleichtert die Herstellung, da der zweite Winkelschenkel mit seiner sehr einfachen geometrischen Form kalt oder warm beispielsweise mit einem Gesenk geformt werden kann. Die Aufnahmeöffnung für den ersten Winkelschenkel und die damit im Inneren des zweiten Winkelschenkels verbundene Öffnung für das elektrische Kabel können beispielsweise sehr einfach mit Hilfe von Bohrern oder Fräsern in einen solchen Würfel oder Quader eingearbeitet werden. Dabei ist vorteilhaft, dass die beiden Winkelschenkel für ihre Montage einfach zusammengesteckt werden können, so dass eventuelle gegenseitige Verdrehbewegungen oder Verschwenkungen bei einer Montage, bei welcher das Kabel bereits mit dem in dem ersten Winkelschenkel befindlichen Isolierkörper verbunden ist, vermieden werden.The second angle leg may have a cuboidal or cuboidal outer shape, wherein a side surface may have the receiving opening for the first angle leg. This facilitates the production, since the second angle leg can be formed with its very simple geometric shape cold or warm, for example with a die. The receiving opening for the first angle leg and thus connected in the interior of the second angle leg opening for the electrical cable can for example be very easily incorporated by means of drills or cutters in such a cube or cuboid. It is advantageous that the two angle legs can be easily plugged together for their assembly, so that any mutual rotational movements or Verschwenkungen in a mounting in which the cable is already connected to the located in the first angle leg insulator can be avoided.

Die Befestigungsschrauben können einerseits einen an dem zweiten Winkelschenkel angreifenden Schraubenkopf und andererseits ein Gewinde haben, welches zu einem Gegengewinde in der Wandung oder zu einer hinter dieser Wandung befindlichen Mutter oder dergleichen Gegenstück passt. Entsprechend einfach ist die gesamte Montage und Befestigung des Steckverbinders, die gleichzeitig zur Fixierung des ersten Winkelschenkels an dem zweiten Winkelschenkel führt.The fastening screws may have, on the one hand, a screw head acting on the second angle leg and, on the other hand, a thread which fits to a counter thread in the wall or to a nut or similar counterpart located behind this wall. Accordingly easy is the entire assembly and mounting of the connector, which also leads to the fixation of the first angle leg to the second angle leg.

Die durchgehenden Öffnungen für die Befestigungsschrauben können Bohrungen sein. Entsprechend einfach ist ihre Herstellung.The through holes for the mounting screws may be holes. Accordingly, their production is simple.

Der Anteil der durchgehenden Öffnung oder Bohrung für die Befestigungsschraube (n) zur gleichzeitigen Verriegelung des ersten Winkelschenkels an dessen Steckabschnitt kann dessen Wand zumindest teilweise durchsetzen und einen quer zur axialen Erstreckung dieses ersten Winkelschenkels verlaufenden, gegebenenfalls durch die Wand durchgehenden Schlitz bilden. Somit kann die Dicke der Wand dieses Steckabschnitts bestmöglich für die Verriegelung des ersten Winkelschenkels an dem zweiten Winkelschenkel ausgenutzt werden, ohne dass die Befestigungsschraube nennenswert in den Innenquerschnitt des ersten Winkelschenkels eingreift.The proportion of the through hole or bore for the fastening screw (s) for simultaneous locking of the first angle leg at its plug portion can at least partially enforce its wall and form a transverse to the axial extent of this first angle leg, optionally through the wall continuous slot. Thus, the thickness of the wall of this plug section can best be exploited for the locking of the first angle leg on the second angle leg, without the fastening screw engages appreciably in the inner cross section of the first angle leg.

In axialer Richtung benachbart zu dem Bohrungs- oder Schlitzbereich kann an dem Steckabschnitt ein Anschlag an dem ersten Winkelschenkel vorgesehen sein, der in Gebrauchsstellung die Einstecktiefe des Steckabschnitts gegenüber dem zweiten Winkelschenkel begrenzt. Dieser Anschlag kann von dem Bohrungs- oder Schlitzbereich einen derartigen Abstand haben, dass eine Dichtung dazwischen passt, mit welcher die beiden Winkelschenkel in Gebrauchsstellung gegeneinander abgedichtet sind. Es ist also in zweckmäßiger Weise vorgesehen, dass der Bohrungs- oder Schlitzbereich an dem Steckabschnitt von dem Anschlag des ersten Winkelschenkels, der eine Querschnittsvergrößerung gegenüber dem Steckabschnitt darstellt, einen ausreichenden Abstand für eine Dichtung einhält, so dass die beiden Winkelschenkel gegeneinander abgedichtet werden können.In the axial direction adjacent to the bore or slot area may be provided on the plug portion of a stop on the first angle leg, which limits the insertion depth of the plug portion relative to the second angle leg in the position of use. This stop may have such a distance from the bore or slot area that a seal fits between them, with which the two angle legs are sealed in the position of use against each other. It is therefore expediently provided that the bore or slot area at the plug portion of the stop of the first angle leg, which represents a cross-sectional enlargement relative to the plug portion, maintains a sufficient distance for a seal, so that the two angle legs can be sealed against each other.

Dabei kann die an dem Anschlag des ersten Winkelschenkels vorgesehene Dichtung ein Dichtring, insbesondere ein O-Ring sein, dessen Elastizität auch zu einem Ausgleich axialer Toleranzen dient. Die Dichtung erhält somit eine Doppelfunktion.In this case, the provided on the stop of the first angle leg seal may be a sealing ring, in particular an O-ring whose elasticity also serves to compensate for axial tolerances. The seal thus receives a double function.

Damit der erste Winkelschenkel, der in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform rechtwinklig zu dem zweiten Winkelschenkel verläuft, von der Wandung des Gehäuses einen ausreichenden Abstand hat, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn die Aufnahmeöffnung an dem zweiten Winkelschenkel gegenüber dessen mit der Wandung verbindbaren Berührfläche einen größeren Abstand als von dem von der Wandung abliegenden Ende dieses Winkelschenkels hat und in einer in Gebrauchsstellung winklig zu dieser Wandung verlaufenden Seitenfläche des zweiten Winkelschenkels angeordnet ist. Somit überragt der zweite Winkelschenkel den Steckbereich auf der der Wandung und der Berührfläche abgewandten Seite nur geringfügig.Thus, the first angle leg, in a preferred embodiment extends at right angles to the second angle leg, from the wall of the housing has a sufficient distance, it is advantageous if the receiving opening at the second angle leg relative to its connectable to the wall contact surface has a greater distance than from the distal end of the wall of this angle leg and is arranged in a position of use at an angle to this wall extending side surface of the second angle leg. Thus, the second angle leg projects beyond the mating area on the side facing away from the wall and the contact surface only slightly.

Vor allem bei Kombination einzelner oder mehrerer der vorbeschriebenen Merkmale und Maßnahmen ergibt sich ein elektrischer Winkelförmiger Steckverbinder, der aus wenigen Teilen besteht, wobei die eigentlich separaten Winkelschenkel durch die Befestigung des Steckverbinders an einem Gehäuse gleichzeitig gegenseitig befestigt und verriegelt werden.Especially when combining one or more of the features and measures described above results in an electrical angle-shaped connector, which consists of a few parts, the actually separate angle leg are fastened and locked simultaneously by the attachment of the connector to a housing.

Nachstehend ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung näher beschrieben. Es zeigt in zum Teil schematisierter schaubildlicher Darstellung:

An embodiment of the invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawing. It shows in partly schematized diagrammatic representation:
Fig. 1
an exploded view of the connector with the two angle legs and the insulating body and the mounting screws before installation and
Fig. 2
the connector in the use position, wherein the wall to which the connector by means of the mounting screws is attachable, not shown.

Ein im ganzen mit 1 bezeichneter elektrischer winkelförmiger Steckverbinder weist einen ersten Winkelschenkel 2 auf, der in Gebrauchsstellung einen elektrische Kontakte 3, im Ausführungsbeispiel Kontaktstifte, gegebenenfalls aber auch Kontaktbuchsen enthaltenden Isolierkörper 4 in sich aufnimmt. Die von dem Isolierkörper 4 und den elektrischen Kontakten 3 ausgehenden Leitungen oder Litzen, die der besseren Übersicht wegen in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellt sind, verlaufen durch einen zweiten Winkelschenkel 5 des Steckverbinders 1 zu einem Verbraucher oder zu einer Stromquelle, die sich hinter einer Wandung beispielsweise eines Gehäuses befindet, an welcher der zweite Winkelschenkel 5 in Gebrauchsstellung mit wenigstens einer Befestigungsschraube 6 direkt oder indirekt gehalten ist, so dass eine in der Zeichnung untere Berührfläche 7 an einer derartigen Wandung - eventuell unter Zwischenlage einer Dichtung - zur Anlage kommt. In Fig. 1 ist der Verlauf der Befestigungsschrauben 6 für die Gebrauchsstellung erkennbar, die rechtwinklig zu einer derartigen Wandung eines Gehäuses verlaufen und in diese einschraubbar sind.A generally designated 1 electrical angle connector has a first angle leg 2, which in Use position, an electrical contacts 3, in the embodiment of the contact pins, but optionally also contains female contacts insulating body 4 receives in itself. The emanating from the insulator 4 and the electrical contacts 3 lines or strands, which are not shown for the sake of clarity in the drawing, extend through a second angle leg 5 of the connector 1 to a consumer or to a power source, for example behind a wall a housing is located at which the second angle leg 5 is held in the position of use with at least one fastening screw 6 directly or indirectly, so that in the drawing lower contact surface 7 on such a wall - possibly with the interposition of a seal - comes into contact. In Fig. 1 the course of the fastening screws 6 can be seen for the use position, which extend at right angles to such a wall of a housing and are screwed into this.

Neben einer parallel zu den Befestigungsschrauben verlaufenden Innenhöhlung für das elektrische Kabel weist der zweite Winkelschenkel 5 eine quer zu dieser Innenhöhlung und zu seinem Verlauf mündende Aufnahmeöffnung 8 auf, in die ein Steckabschnitt 9 des ersten Winkelschenkels 2 einsteckbar ist und passt. In Fig. 1 ist dargestellt, dass im Überdeckungs- oder Berührbereich der Innenseite der Aufnahmeöffnung 8 des zweiten Winkelschenkels 5 mit diesem Steckabschnitt 9 des ersten Winkelschenkels 2 eine quer zur axialen Erstreckung des erste Winkelschenkels durchgehende Öffnung 10 durch den zweiten Winkelschenkel 5 bis zu dessen Auflagefläche 7 auf der Wandung zur Aufnahme einer Befestigungsschraube 6 vorgesehen ist.In addition to a parallel to the fastening screws extending inner cavity for the electrical cable, the second angle leg 5 a transversely opening to this inner cavity and its course receiving opening 8, in which a plug-in portion 9 of the first angle leg 2 can be inserted and fits. In Fig. 1 It is shown that in the overlap or contact area of the inside of the receiving opening 8 of the second angle leg 5 with this plug portion 9 of the first angle leg 2 a transverse to the axial extent of the first angle leg opening 10 through the second angle leg 5 to the support surface 7 on the wall is provided for receiving a fastening screw 6.

Dabei ist in Fig. 1 angedeutet, dass diese durchgehende Öffnung 10 in dem Berührbereich jeweils mit einem Teil ihres Querschnitts etwa als Sekante einerseits wenigstens durch einen Teil des Querschnitts der Wand 11 des Steckabschnitts 9 des ersten Winkelschenkels und andererseits durch die Begrenzung 12 der Aufnahmeöffnung 8 des zweiten Winkelschenkels 5 verläuft, so dass die in Gebrauchsstellung durch diese durchgehende, im Steckbereich geteilte Öffnung 10 verlaufende Befestigungsschraube 6 gleichzeitig durch den Steckabschnitt 9 und die Aufnahmeöffnung 8 verläuft und zwar in deren gegenseitigen Grenz- oder Berührbereich und den ersten Winkelschenkel 2 in axialer Richtung formschlüssig an dem zweiten Winkelschenkel 5 festlegt. In Fig. 1 erkennt man schematisiert die Verschneidung 13 der Öffnung 10 mit der Aufnahmeöffnung 8 einerseits und auch eine Verschneidung 14 in Form eines Schlitzes an dem Steckabschnitt 9 beziehungsweise in dessen Wand 11. In zusammengesteckter Position sind diese beiden Verschneidungen 13 und 14 derart in Überdeckung, dass die Schraube 6 durch beide Verschneidungen hindurch verläuft und sie gegenseitig fixiert.It is in Fig. 1 indicated that this through opening 10 in the contact region in each case with a part of its cross section approximately as a secant on the one hand at least by a portion of the cross section of the wall 11 of the plug portion 9 of the first angle leg and on the other hand by the boundary 12 of the receiving opening 8 of the second angle leg 5, so that in the use position by this continuous, divided in the plug-in opening 10 extending fastening screw 6 at the same time passes through the plug portion 9 and the receiving opening 8 and that determines in the mutual boundary or contact area and the first angle leg 2 in the axial direction form fit to the second angle leg 5. In Fig. 1 can be seen schematically the intersection 13 of the opening 10 with the receiving opening 8 on the one hand and also an intersection 14 in the form of a slot on the plug portion 9 or in the wall 11. In mated position, these two intersections 13 and 14 are in such a coincidence that the screw 6 passes through both intersections and they fixed each other.

In Fig. 1 erkennt man ferner, dass im Berührbereich der Aufnahmeöffnung 8 des zweiten Winkelschenkels 5 zwei parallele durchgehende Öffnungen 10 für Befestigungsschrauben 6 vorgesehen sind, die mit einem Teil ihres Querschnitts in die Wand 11 des Steckabschnitts 9 des ersten Winkelschenkels 2 in Gebrauchsstellung eingreifen. Dafür sind demgemäß zwei den ersten Winkelschenkel 2 erfassende Befestigungsschrauben 6 vorgesehen, was zu einer sicheren und symmetrischen Verriegelung des ersten Winkelschenkels 2 an dem zweiten Winkelschenkel 5 führt.In Fig. 1 can be seen further that in the contact region of the receiving opening 8 of the second angle leg 5 two parallel through openings 10 are provided for fastening screws 6, which engage with a part of its cross section in the wall 11 of the plug portion 9 of the first angle leg 2 in the use position. For this purpose, two of the first angle leg 2 detecting fastening screws 6 are provided, resulting in a secure and symmetrical locking of the first angle leg 2 to the second angle leg 5.

Zusätzlich zu den den ersten Winkelschenkel 2 in Gebrauchsstellung an dem zweiten Winkelschenkel 5 verriegelnden Befestigungsschrauben 6 erkennt man an dem zweiten Winkelschenkel 5 außerhalb des Verbindungsbereichs mit dem ersten Winkelschenkel 2 zwei weitere Öffnungen 10a oder Bohrungen für weitere Befestigungsschrauben 6a, die ausschließlich zur besseren Fixierung des Steckverbinders 1 an einer Wandung dienen. Dabei können aber die Schrauben 6 und 6a gleich ausgebildet sein, was die Montage und auch die Herstellung erleichtert, wobei zumindest die Schrauben 6a zum Beispiel mittels O-Ring abgedichtet sein können.In addition to the first angle leg 2 in the use position on the second angle leg 5 locking screws 6 can be seen on the second angle leg 5 outside the connecting portion with the first angle leg 2, two more openings 10a or holes for further mounting screws 6a, which serve exclusively for better fixation of the connector 1 on a wall. But the screws 6 and 6a may be the same, which facilitates the assembly and also the production, wherein at least the screws 6a may be sealed, for example by means of an O-ring.

Der zweite Winkelschenkel 5 hat eine würfel- oder quaderförmige Außenform, wobei eine Seitenfläche 15 die Aufnahmeöffnung 8 für den erste Winkelschenkel 2 aufweist. Ein solches Teil ist einfach formbar und kann somit auch aus hochwertigem Werkstoff, beispielsweise aus rostfreiem Stahl, gefertigt werden.The second angle leg 5 has a cube or cuboid outer shape, wherein a side surface 15 has the receiving opening 8 for the first angle leg 2. Such a part is easy to shape and can therefore also be made of high quality material, for example stainless steel.

Gemäß Fig. 1 haben die Befestigungsschrauben 6 und 6a einerseits einen an dem zweiten Winkelschenkel 5 oben angreifenden Schraubenkopf 16 und andererseits ein Gewinde 17, welches zu einem Gegengewinde in der Wandung oder zu einer hinter einer solchen Wandung eines Gehäuses, an welchem der Steckverbinder 11 befestigt wird, befindlichen Mutter oder dergleichen Gegenstück passt. Dabei sind die durchgehenden Öffnungen 10 und 10a als Bohrungen ausgebildet.According to Fig. 1 have the mounting screws 6 and 6a on the one hand on the second angle leg 5 above attacking screw head 16 and on the other hand, a thread 17, which is to a mating thread in the wall or to a behind such a wall of a housing to which the connector 11 is attached, located mother or similar counterpart fits. The continuous openings 10 and 10a are formed as bores.

Der Anteil der durchgehenden Öffnung 10 oder Bohrung für die Befestigungsschrauben 6 zur gleichzeitigen Verriegelung des ersten Winkelschenkels 2 an dessen Steckabschnitt 9 durchsetzt im Ausführungsbeispiel dessen Wand 11 teilweise und bildet jeweils einen quer zur axialen Erstreckung dieses ersten Winkelschenkels verlaufenden, im Ausführungsbeispiel auch etwas durch die Wand 11 durchgehenden Schlitz der der schon erwähnten Verschneidung 14 der Bohrung 10 mit dem Steckabschnitt 9 entspricht. Der in Fig. 1 erkennbare Schlitz ist im Ausführungsbeispiel in analoger und symmetrischer Weise auch auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite dieses Winkelschenkels 2 vorgesehen. Die Befestigungsschrauben 6 erfassen also in Gebrauchsstellung praktisch den gesamten Querschnitt der Wand 11 des Steckabschnitts 9 und führen so zu einer bestmöglichen Verriegelung, wobei ein vernachlässigbarer Teil des Querschnitts der Befestigungsschrauben 6 in die Innenlängshöhlung des Winkelschenkels 2 eingreift, wofür dort genügend Platz vorhanden ist.The proportion of the through hole 10 or hole for the mounting screws 6 for simultaneous locking of the first angle leg 2 at the plug portion 9 passes through in the embodiment of the wall 11 partially and each forms a transverse to the axial extent of this first angle leg, in the embodiment, something through the wall 11 continuous slot which corresponds to the already mentioned intersection 14 of the bore 10 with the plug portion 9. The in Fig. 1 recognizable slot is provided in the embodiment in an analogous and symmetrical manner also on the opposite side of this angle leg 2. The Securing screws 6 thus capture in use position practically the entire cross section of the wall 11 of the plug portion 9 and thus lead to a best possible lock, with a negligible part of the cross section of the mounting screws 6 engages the inner longitudinal cavity of the angle leg 2, for which there is enough space.

In axialer Richtung benachbart zu diesem Bohrungs- oder Schlitzbereich der Verschneidung 14 ist ein Anschlag 18 vorgesehen, der an dem ersten Winkelschenkel 2 also dessen Steckabschnitt 9 radial überragt und der in Gebrauchsstellung die Einstecktiefe des Steckabschnitts 9 gegenüber dem zweiten Winkelschenkel 5 begrenzt. Dabei hat dieser Anschlag 18 von dem Bohrungs- oder Schlitzbereich einen derartigen Abstand, dass eine nicht näher dargestellte Dichtung dazwischen passt, mit welcher die beiden Winkelschenkel in Gebrauchsstellung gegenseitig abgedichtet sind. Dieser Dichtring kann aufgrund seiner Elastizität auch gleichzeitig zum Ausgleich axialer Toleranzen dienen.In the axial direction adjacent to this bore or slot area of the intersection 14, a stop 18 is provided, which projects radially beyond the plug-in portion 9 on the first angle leg 2 and limits the insertion depth of the plug-in portion 9 relative to the second angle leg 5 in the position of use. In this case, this stop 18 of the bore or slot area has a distance such that a seal not shown fits between them, with which the two angle legs are mutually sealed in the use position. Due to its elasticity, this sealing ring can also simultaneously serve to compensate for axial tolerances.

In beiden Figuren erkennt man, dass die Aufnahmeöffnung 8 an dem zweiten Winkelschenkel 5 gegenüber dessen mit einer Wandung verbindbaren Berührfläche 7 einen größeren Abstand als von dem von der Wandung abliegenden Ende dieses Winkelschenkels hat und in der in Gebrauchsstellung winklig zu dieser Wandung verlaufenden Seitenfläche 15 angeordnet ist. Somit ergibt sich in montierter Position der winkelförmige Steckverbinder gemäß Fig. 2, bei welchem der erste Winkelschenkel 2 gegenüber einer Gehäusewand einen entsprechenden Abstand hat, um beispielsweise einen Gegenstecker anzubringen oder eine Montage an einem an ihm vorgesehenen Außengewinde 19 zu ermöglichen.In both figures it can be seen that the receiving opening 8 at the second angle leg 5 with respect to its contact surface 7 connectable with a wall has a greater distance than from the wall remote from the end of this angle leg and arranged in the use position at an angle to this wall extending side surface 15 is. Thus results in the mounted position of the angular connector according to Fig. 2 in which the first angle leg 2 has a corresponding distance relative to a housing wall in order, for example, to attach a mating connector or to permit mounting on an external thread 19 provided on it.

Der elektrische winkelförmige Steckverbinder 1 weist zwei einzelne separate Winkelschenkel 2 und 5 auf, wobei der zweite Winkelschenkel 5 eine quer zu seinem Verlauf mündende Aufnahmeöffnung 8 hat, in die ein Steckabschnitt 9 des ersten Winkelschenkels 2 einsteckbar ist und passt, das heißt die beiden Winkelschenkel 2 und 5 sind in Gebrauchsstellung zusammengesteckt. Für die gegenseitige Verriegelung der beiden Winkelschenkel in Gebrauchsstellung ist vorgesehen, dass im Überdeckungs- oder Berührbereich innerhalb der Aufnahmeöffnung 8 eine quer zur axialen Erstreckung des ersten Winkelschenkels 2 verlaufende durchgehende Öffnung 10 durch den zweiten Winkelschenkel 5 vorgesehen ist, die in dem Berührbereich der beiden Winkelschenkel jeweils zu einem Teil ihres Querschnitts einerseits an dem einen und andererseits an dem anderen Winkelschenkel vorhanden ist, so dass eine durch diese Öffnung 10 oder Bohrung durchgehende Befestigungsschraube 6 beide Winkelschenkel formschlüssig erfasst und gegeneinander verriegelt.The electrical angle-shaped connector 1 has two individual separate angle legs 2 and 5, wherein the second Angle leg 5 has a transversely opening to its course receiving opening 8 into which a plug-in portion 9 of the first angle leg 2 is inserted and fits, that is, the two angle legs 2 and 5 are plugged together in the use position. For the mutual locking of the two angle legs in the use position is provided that in the overlap or contact area within the receiving opening 8 a transverse to the axial extent of the first angle leg 2 extending through opening 10 is provided by the second angle leg 5, in the contact region of the two angle legs in each case to a part of its cross section on the one hand and on the other hand, on the other angle leg is present, so that a through this opening 10 or bore continuous fastening screw 6 detects both angle legs form-fitting and locked against each other.
