Definitions

  • the invention relates to a protective device for a plug connection according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Connector systems are known, for example to connect telephone lines, computer systems or networks.
  • the RJ45 connector is a standard for connectors in communication and data networks that is standardized and used worldwide in accordance with IEC 60603-7.
  • Such a plug connection comprises a plug and a socket.
  • the socket is usually arranged in a socket, a rack, or a so-called patch panel.
  • a disadvantage of these known plug connections is the fact that they are hardly suitable for industrial applications, since a reliable network function cannot be guaranteed under difficult environmental conditions, such as those which occur in industry.
  • Known plug-in connections based on the RJ45 plug-in connector system can have a protection class such as IP 67 (according to IEC 60529 standard), which means that the very widespread and inexpensive RJ45 connector cannot be used in an industrial environment because of external influences such as vibrations or impairments caused by coolants or
  • Solvents, oils and the like occur, and / or dirt and / or dust prevents their use.
  • a protective device comprising a coupling part and a plug housing for a plug to be arranged therein, the coupling part having an opening for the plug, and the opening being surrounded by a protruding collar, in particular a 360-degree circumference, the Collar has a circumferential groove, and wherein the plug housing comprises a snap-in part adapted in relation to the groove, in order to connect the plug housing to the coupling part with the aid of the snap-in part engaging in the groove.
  • the plug is designed as an RJ45 plug, and the plug can also be designed, for example, as an optical waveguide plug or as a universal serial bus plug, also referred to as a USB plug.
  • the protective device enables a watertight and / or dustproof connection of the plug housing to the coupling part.
  • the coupling part can be designed as a component of the socket.
  • the coupling part is designed in the form of a flange.
  • This flange-shaped coupling part is preferably installed in a watertight and / or dirt and dustproof manner in front of the socket.
  • the protective device according to the invention thus enables the plug, in particular the RJ45 plug, to be connected to the socket safely and in compliance with protection class IP 67.
  • the flange-shaped coupling part is made, for example, of metal or a plastic. This flange-shaped coupling part also has the
  • the advantage is that existing sockets can be retrofitted to protection class IP 67.
  • the flange-shaped coupling part can be designed with a relatively small dimensioned flange part, so that the bushings to be provided with it can be very closely spaced from one another. This flange-shaped coupling part is therefore also suitable for retrofitting racks, for example.
  • the coupling part has a guide opening for the plug, which ensures a reliable plug connection.
  • the plug housing has a seal arranged on its end face, which, when the plug-in connection is inserted, rests on a sealing edge arranged on the collar of the coupling part, around the gap between the
  • the connector housing is preferably designed as a robust plastic housing.
  • the protective device according to the invention thus enables an RJ45 plug connection which meets protection class IP 67 and is thus protected against water, dirt, oil and mechanical damage.
  • the flange-shaped coupling part can be integrated into any device and into any socket with little effort. It can also be installed in front of every RJ45 socket.
  • the protective device has both a guiding function to safely guide the plug and a mechanical connection function in order to give the plug connection increased mechanical resistance. Any vibrations that occur on the connector housing are redirected to the coupling part by the clamping action of the seal, and are therefore not transmitted, or only in a damped form, to the sensitive electrical contacts of the connector. In addition, there is a strain relief for the plug, since tensile forces occurring on the cable act on the coupling part via the plug housing.
  • Fig. 1 is an exploded view of a first embodiment of an inventive
  • 2b shows a section through the coupling part along the line AA according to FIG. 2a; 2c shows a perspective view of the coupling part;
  • FIG. 3 shows a connector housing shortly before being introduced into the coupling part shown in FIG. 2c;
  • FIG. 6 shows a second exemplary embodiment of a protective device according to the invention
  • FIG. 7 is an exploded view of the protective device according to FIG. 6;
  • Fig. 8 shows a longitudinal section through the coupling part and the connector housing of the second embodiment.
  • Figure 1 shows a flange-shaped coupling part 1, which is arranged in front of a socket, not shown. Details of the coupling part 1 can be seen from the front view shown in FIG. 2a and the section along the line AA shown in FIG. 2b.
  • the coupling part 1 comprises a flange 1g and a collar 1 a and has a guide opening 1 b with a guide 1 c for guiding the plug 3 laterally.
  • this flange is also directly attached a front cover and / or a housing can be fastened, in particular using conventional fastening means, such as, for example, snap connections or screws, and using additional sealing means, such as, for example
  • this flange is integrated in the housing or in the front cover. In the following, all these embodiments of the flange are to be referred to as flange-shaped.
  • the collar la faces the one shown in FIG. 2b
  • the bulge 1d is also designed to protrude forward over the collar la, so that a sealing edge 1f is formed which, as can be seen in FIG. 2a, encloses the guide opening 1b in a rectangular manner.
  • the connector housing 2 with connector 3 is fed to the coupling part 1 in the direction of movement 1h.
  • the collar la has a height protruding above the flange lg in the direction 1h, for example between 1 mm and 5 mm. This height is preferably between 2 mm and 3 mm.
  • the height of the collar la is dimensioned such that the unlocking tab of the plug 3 protrudes beyond this collar la when plugged in, i.e. is in any case accessible from the outside and can be operated manually.
  • a basic housing 2d has an interior designed in such a way that the plug 3 (in the exemplary embodiment shown an RJ45 plug) is held firmly therein.
  • the basic housing 2d comprises, for example, four resilient, tongue-shaped connecting means 2e, one at the end of each is arranged against the inside protruding locking part 2f.
  • the four connecting means 2e with snap-in part 2f are adapted and arranged in such a way that each snap-in part 2f can engage in the groove le of the coupling part 1.
  • An elastic, ring-shaped seal 2a is arranged lying between the connecting means 2e and has the task of sealing the gap between the basic housing 2d and the sealing edge lf.
  • a locking means 2b Lying on the base housing 2d there is arranged a locking means 2b which is displaceable in the direction of movement 2p and which, depending on the position, limits the freedom of movement of the resilient connecting means 2e.
  • the locking means 2e has a protruding latching cam 2c on the inside and below, which is designed for latching into the latching recess 2g, so that the
  • Locking means 2b can assume two fixed basic positions with respect to the basic housing 2d.
  • the basic housing 2d also comprises a thread 2h, which is followed by lamellae 2i which surround the cable 4. In addition, one enclosing the cable 4
  • Sealing ring 5 is provided.
  • a nut 2k with kink protection 21 can be screwed onto the thread 2h in order to firmly connect the base housing 2d and the cable 4 to one another and to seal them against one another.
  • FIG. 3 shows the assembled connector housing 2 shortly before it is inserted together with the connector 3 into the coupling part 1 and the socket arranged behind it.
  • the locking means 2b is retracted and is in the first basic position, so that the connecting means 2e can perform a resilient movement.
  • the connector housing 2 is connected to the coupling part 1 by the, for example, four snap-in parts 2f of the connector housing 2 are latched into the groove le.
  • the seal 2a closes the gap between the sealing edge lf and the basic housing 2d.
  • the connector housing 2 can be detached from the coupling part 1 by exerting such a great tensile force on the connector housing 2d or the cable 4 that the snap-in parts 2f slide out of the groove le by the resilient connecting means 2e spreading outwards.
  • An undesired spreading of the connecting means 2e is prevented by the locking means 2b being displaced in the direction 2p towards the coupling part 1 into the second basic position, so that the locking means 2b is the one shown in FIG.
  • the arrangement can be seen in the fact that the protective device 6 absorbs these tensile forces substantially or completely, so that these tensile forces do not act on the connector 3 or its electrical connection.
  • the basic housing 2d is preferably designed in such a way that the unlocking tab 3b of the plug 3 held in the basic housing 2d constantly rests on the surface of the plug 3 , This allows the
  • Release tab 3b does not come into active connection with the arrangement provided in the socket for locking.
  • the locking between plug 3 and socket is thus not effected by the release tab 3b, but by locking the connector housing 2 with the coupling part 1.
  • the locking can be released in such a way that the locking means 2b is displaced in the direction 2P '.
  • FIGS. 6, 7 and 8 A second exemplary embodiment of the protective device 6 according to the invention is shown in FIGS. 6, 7 and 8.
  • the connector housing 2 is designed as an elastic hollow body, which opens into a seal 2a via a flexible bellows in order to seal the interior of the connector housing 2 against the cable 4.
  • the connector housing 2 is preferably made of an elastic, soft plastic. As can be seen from the longitudinal section through the protective device 6 shown in FIG. 8, the plug housing 2 has the
  • Coupling part 1 facing end face an inward protruding snap-in part 2f, which is preferably designed to rotate 360 degrees, so that the snap-in part 2f lies over the entire circumference of the collar la in the groove le.
  • Coupling part 1 and the connector housing 2 a tight connection.
  • the snap-in part 2f can be brought into engagement with the groove le very easily, or removed again from the groove le.
  • the coupling part 1 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 has, for example, hooks li, which can engage in appropriately designed openings in a socket cover, so that the coupling part 1 can be placed very easily on an existing socket.
  • the RJ45 plug 3 is locked in the socket in a manner known per se via the locking lug 3a, which is an integrated part of the unlocking tab 3b, since the elastic plug housing 2 can hardly absorb tensile forces.
  • Protective device is used in such a way that, in a first step, as shown in FIG. 7, the plug 3 is inserted into the coupling part 1 and the plug 3 is locked in the socket via the locking lug 3a. Thereupon, as shown in FIG. 6, the elastic connector housing 2 is shifted towards the coupling part 1 and the latching part 2f is brought into engagement with the groove 1, as shown in FIG. Thus, the connector 3 is protected from contamination and liquids by the protective device 6, including the connector housing 2 and the coupling part 1.
  • Figure 8 shows schematically the position of the
  • Unlocking tab 3b with the plug 3 inserted into the socket It may prove advantageous to provide the connector housing 2 with a protruding cam 2n, which is arranged such that it comes to rest below the unlocking tab 3b. In order to detach the plug 3 from the socket, the plug housing 2 is pressed up at the point provided with the cam 2n, so that the unlocking tab 3b is raised and the plug connection is released. The plug 3 can then be removed together with the plug housing 2.
  • the collar of the coupling part 1 is dimensioned such that the unlocking tab 3b is accessible from the outside and can be operated manually.
  • the protective device can be combined with known plugs, in particular with one Fiber optic connector, universal serial bus connector (USB) or RJ45 connector.
