Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen elektrischen Steckverbinder in der Ausgestaltung eines Buchsenkontakts, bestehend aus einem Kontaktinnenteil und einem Federelement, das über das Kontaktinnenteil stülpbar ist, wobei das Kontaktinnenteil aus
- einem Befestigungsteil zur Aufnahme eines abisolierten Endes einer elektrischen Leitung,
- einem Mittelabschnitt,
- einem Kontaktabschnitt mit einem Kontaktteil besteht.
- a fixing member for receiving a stripped end of an electric wire,
- a middle section,

Steckverbinder der vorstehenden Art sind vielfach bekannt. Diese Steckverbinder bestehen in der Regel aus zwei Bauteilen, nämlich einem Kontaktinnenteil und einem Federelement, wobei das Federelement als sogenannte Überfeder ausgebildet ist, die das Kontaktinnenteil zumindest teilweise umschließt. Zur Herstellung einer elektrischen Steckverbindung wird der elektrische Steckverbinder auf ein sogenanntes Messer aufgesteckt, wobei das Kontaktinnenteil mit dem Messer in Kontakt tritt. Das Kontaktinnenteil selbst ist in mehrere Bereiche aufgeteilt, nämlich ein Befestigungsteil, an dem ein abisoliertes Ende einer elektrischen Steckverbindung vorzugsweise angecrimpt wird. Ferner weist das Kontaktinnenteil einen Mittelabschnitt auf, der vorzugsweise taillenartig ausgebildet ist, an dessen Taille ein Befestigungselement vorgesehen ist, das zum Fixieren des Kontaktinnenteils ausgebildet ist und einen Kontaktabschnitt mit einem Kontaktteil, das einen elektrischen Kontakt mit dem gegenüberliegenden Messer herstellt.Connectors of the above type are widely known. These Connectors usually consist of two components, namely a contact inner part and a spring element, wherein the spring element is designed as a so-called over-spring, which is the contact inner part at least partially encloses. For the production of a electrical connector is the electrical connector attached to a so-called knife, the inner contact part comes into contact with the knife. The inner contact part itself is divided into several areas, namely a fastening part, to a stripped end of an electrical connector preferably is crimped. Furthermore, the inner contact part has a Middle section, which is preferably formed like a waist is, at the waist of a fastener is provided, the for fixing the contact inner part is formed and a contact portion with a contact part that makes an electrical contact with the opposite knife manufactures.
Die Kontaktteile sind in der Regel als Kontaktlamellen ausgebildet. Ein Kontaktinnenteil weist zwei oder mehr gegenüberliegende Lamellen auf, die in einem Abstand zueinander angeordnet sind, der kleiner als die Dicke des Messers ist. Durch das Einführen des Messers werden die Kontaktlamellen zum Auffedern gezwungen. Dadurch tritt eine entsprechende Verformung ein, die eine definierte Normalkraft an den Kontaktlamellen und dem Messer herbeigeführten Kontaktpunkt erzielt.The contact parts are usually designed as contact blades. A contact inner part has two or more opposite ones Slats, which are arranged at a distance from each other, the smaller than the thickness of the knife. By introducing the Knives, the contact blades are forced to spring. Thereby occurs a corresponding deformation, which defines a defined Normal force on the contact blades and the knife induced Contact point achieved.
Es sind auch unterschiedliche Ausführungsformen der Ausgestaltung der Kontaktlamellen bekannt. Zum einen ist vorgesehen, Kontaktlamellen freiliegend auszubilden, so dass diese frei beim Aufstecken auf ein Messer auffedern können. Eine andere Ausführungsform zeigt einen Bügel, der die Kontaktlamellen umklammert, wobei der Bügel sich auf der Überfeder abstützt. Ferner ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel bekannt, bei dem die Kontaktlamellen an der Überfeder angeschweißt sind. There are also different embodiments of the embodiment the contact blades known. On the one hand is provided, contact blades exposed form so that they are free when plugging can spring up on a knife. Another embodiment shows a bracket which clasps the contact blades, wherein the bracket is supported on the overspring. Further, an embodiment known in which the contact blades welded to the over-spring are.
Bei der Ausbildung von elektrischen Steckverbindungen in der Form, dass die Kontaktlamellen frei sich innerhalb der Überfeder erstrecken, ergibt sich der Nachteil, dass insbesondere durch Relaxation das Kontaktlamellenmaterial eine Veränderung der sogenannten Kontaktnormalkraft eintritt. Dies hat zur Folge, dass eine an sich hergestellte elektrische Steckverbindung durch diesen Relaxationsprozess aufgehoben wird und somit zu einer entsprechenden Störung führen kann.In the formation of electrical connectors in the form, that the contact blades extend freely within the over-spring, There is the disadvantage that in particular by relaxation the contact blade material a change in the so-called Contact normal force occurs. This has the consequence that an produced electrical connector through this relaxation process is lifted and thus to a corresponding May cause a disturbance.
Die weiteren Ausbildungen von Kontaktlamellen zeigen den Nachteil, dass die entsprechenden Kontaktnormalkräfte in einer Abhängigkeit der übrigen Kontaktlamellen entstehen. Insbesondere bei Schrägstellung des Messers und bei Schwing- und Taumelbewegungen wird eine von zwei Kontaktpunkten eine zu hohe und eine eine entsprechend niedrige Kontaktnormalkraft aufweisen. Bei zu niedriger Kontaktnormalkraft kann dies im Extremfall zum Abheben bzw. Ausfall des Kontaktpunktes und damit Aufheben der elektrischen Steckverbindung führen. Eine zu hohe Kontaktkraft kann eine dauerhafte Beschädigung der Kontaktoberfläche (des Messers und der Kontaktlamelle) zur Folge haben, was wiederum über die Lebensdauer hin ebenfalls zum Ausfall des Kontaktpunktes bzw. der elektrischen Steckverbindung führen kann.The further embodiments of contact blades show the disadvantage that the corresponding contact normal forces in a dependency the remaining contact blades arise. Especially with skew of the knife and in oscillatory and tumbling movements one of two contact points one too high and one correspondingly have low contact normal force. If the contact normal force is too low This can in extreme cases to take off or failure the contact point and thus cancel the electrical connector to lead. Excessive contact force can cause permanent damage the contact surface (of the knife and the contact blade) result, which in turn over the life out also to the failure of the contact point or the electrical Plug connection can lead.
Die bisherige Konstruktion von elektrischen Steckverbindern der vorstehenden Art ist daraufhin ausgelegt, dass während des Einführvorganges des Messers in das Kontaktinnenteil eine definierte Kraft im Kontaktpunkt zu erzielen ist, ohne beim Einsteckvorgang einen gewissen Maximalwert durch die Steckkraft zu überschreiten. Eine gezielte Gestaltung des Verlaufs der Steckkraftkurve ist nur sehr eingeschränkt möglich. The previous design of electrical connectors of above type is designed to be that during the insertion process of the knife in the contact inner part a defined Force at the point of contact is achieved without the insertion process to exceed a certain maximum value by the insertion force. A targeted design of the course of the insertion force curve is only very limited possible.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die Nachteile des Standes der Technik zu vermeiden. Insbesondere gilt es, die Kontaktsicherheit durch Sicherstellung der optimalen Kontaktnormalkraft bei jeder Kontaktlamelle auch im Fall schiefstehender Messer bzw. schwingender, taumelnder Bewegung des Messers, zu erhöhen.The object of the invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art Technology to avoid. In particular, it is the contact security by ensuring the optimum contact normal force at each Contact lamella also in the case of oblique knives or oscillating, tumbling movement of the knife, increase.
Kern der Erfindung ist es, dass ein elektrischer Steckverbinder der vorstehenden Art zwei und mehr an dem Kontaktteil angeordnete Kontaktlamellen aufweist, die sich, jedoch ohne weitere Fixierung, frei an ihrem freien Ende bewegen (aufschnäbeln) können und deren Öffnungsbereich durch Begrenzungselemente eingeschränkt ist. Vorzugsweise entsprechen die Begrenzungselemente der kastenförmig ausgebildeten Überfeder, die die Kontaktlamellen umgreift.The core of the invention is that an electrical connector of the above type two and more arranged on the contact part Contact lamellae, which, but without further fixation, can freely move (buffle) at their free end and whose Opening area is limited by limiting elements. Preferably The limiting elements correspond to the box-shaped trained over spring, which encompasses the contact blades.
Durch den Lösungseinsatz, dass an dem Kontaktteil von dem Mittelabschnitt mindestens zwei wegweisende Kontaktlamellen vorgesehen sind, wobei jede der Kontaktlamellen mindestens einen Kontaktpunkt zum Herstellen eines elektrischen Steckverbinder mit einem Messer aufweist und diese zusätzlich je nach Abmessungen des einzuführenden Messers entsprechend aufschnäbeln, kann eine erhöhte Kontaktsicherheit geschaffen werden.By the solution insert that at the contact part of the central portion provided at least two groundbreaking contact blades are, each of the contact blades at least one contact point for making an electrical connector with a Knife and this additionally depending on the dimensions of the introduced Biting the knife accordingly can be an increased Contact security are created.
Die Kontaktlamellen sind in Richtung ihrer Erstreckung (weg von dem Mittelabschnitt) voneinander unabhängig. Dies bedeutet, dass, im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik, keine gegenseitige Verbindung besteht. Die freien Enden der Kontaktlamellen sind in ihrer Bewegung ausschließlich durch Begrenzungselemente, vorzugsweise die entsprechend die Kontaktlamellen umgebende Überfeder begrenzt. Dadurch ist es möglich, dass Bewegung und Verformung der Kontaktlamellen bei Einführen des Messers formgerecht sich aufweiten und jede Kontaktlamelle einen zuverlässigen Kontaktpunkt bildet.The contact blades are in the direction of their extension (away from the middle section) independent of each other. This means that, in contrast to the prior art, no mutual connection consists. The free ends of the contact blades are in their movement exclusively by delimiting elements, preferably the limited according to the contact blades surrounding over-spring. Thereby It is possible that movement and deformation of the contact blades widen shape when inserting the knife and each contact blade forms a reliable contact point.

sind vier Kontaktlamellen vorgesehen, die sich von
dem Mittelabschnitt 5 frei weg erstrecken und zwischen den einzelnen
Kontaktlamellen 7 ist jeweils ein Freiraum 8 vorgesehen. Die
Kontaktlamellen 7 weisen einen Kontaktbereich 9 auf, der dazu
dient, mit einem in den Zeichnungen nicht näher dargestellten Messer

1 auf ein Messer ist es möglich, dass einzelne Kontaktlamellen
7 ausweichen, so dass eine weite Öffnung zur Aufnahme des Messers
erzeugt wird. Aufgrund des Anliegens der Kontaktlamellen 7 an
der Überfeder 3 muss bei weiterem Aufweiten des Kontaktlamellenabstands
die Spitze der Kontaktlamellen in Richtung Eintrittsöffnung
für das Messer ausweichen, was nur mit erhöhtem Kraftaufwand möglich
ist, bevor sie auf die Begrenzungselemente der Eintrittsöffnung
der Überfeder 3 auflaufen, die jede weitere Verformung abstoppen.
