Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plug arrangement with two different plugs that match two different sockets in order to connect wires of at least one electrical line with contacts in one of the two sockets.
  • a connector arrangement of the type described in the introduction is known from DE 295 13 082 U1 .
  • a first plug is initially connected to a line.
  • a short additional line leads from this first connector to a second connector.
  • the first connector can be used to connect the cable to a 13-pin car socket, for example. If there is no 13-pin car socket but a 7-pin car socket, the cable can be connected via the additional cable and the other plug.
  • a motor vehicle trailer or a device for attachment to a motor vehicle, such as a bicycle rack, which is equipped with the known plug arrangement, can therefore be connected regardless of the type of socket provided on the respective motor vehicle.
  • the known plug arrangement can be provided comparatively inexpensively because it is based on two conventional plugs.
  • a disadvantage of the known plug arrangement is that no matter which of the two plugs is used, the other one is unsecured and oscillates next to the socket. This applies even with a relatively short additional line.
  • adapters In addition to the known plug arrangement, the use of adapters is known in order to connect a motor vehicle trailer or a device to be fitted to a motor vehicle to a 7-pole or 13-pole socket on the motor vehicle.
  • an adapter has a 13-pin socket and a 7-pin plug, which are provided on a single rigid assembly. If the motor vehicle now has a 13-pin socket instead of a 13-pin socket, a 13-pin plug is plugged into a cable to be connected to the socket of the adapter and fastened to it, and the 7-pin plug of the adapter is then inserted into the 7- pin socket inserted on the motor vehicle.
  • the invention has for its object to show a connector assembly that no longer has the disadvantages of the prior art described above.
  • two plugs are provided on a common housing and combined with this to form a structural unit.
  • Each electrical line can preferably be led out laterally between the plugs from the housing of the structural unit.
  • the wires of the relevant line or lines are connected to the corresponding terminals or connections of the connectors.
  • the two plugs are arranged, designed or housed on the structural unit. This can be the case at two opposite ends of a particularly rigid structural unit with a shape that is elongated in the longitudinal direction. An angled design of the structural unit is also possible.
  • the common housing of the assembly can consist of rigid, unyielding material, such as plastic. Resilient materials, such as rubber, can also be used.
  • This arrangement is remotely comparable to the arrangement of a plug and a socket at two opposite ends of a rigid structural unit in an adapter, as described above.
  • two plugs are provided, and the line-side contacting of the plugs does not take place via a socket.
  • an electrical line to be connected is connected directly to both plugs of the new plug arrangement via corresponding contacts, for example screw and / or crimp terminals, and is led out of the assembly laterally between the plugs.
  • the new connector arrangement is completely fixed to a socket, regardless of which of the two plugs is inserted into the socket. There are no components of the plug arrangement oscillating next to the socket. Nevertheless, the plug arrangement can operate any socket at any time, depending on which type is currently available.
  • the assembly is preferably rigid.
  • the two plugs are arranged on two opposite ends of the rigid structural unit, that is to say with their axes aligned with one another.
  • the assembly has a single straight longitudinal axis. It is also possible from this point on to use e.g. to realize angled axis.
  • the structural unit of the new plug arrangement has at least one molded body, which has a part of the one plug and on at one end its other end forms part of the other connector. This means that it is preferred if the plug arrangement is not subdivided in the direction between the plugs, ie is composed of several components.
  • the structural unit has a housing which is formed by two shaped bodies which extend in the direction between the plugs.
  • the plug inserts of the two plugs can then be held between the shaped bodies, provided that they are not formed in one piece with one of the two shaped bodies.
  • each line that leads to the new connector arrangement can be led out of the structural unit between the shaped bodies.
  • the line can be secured against being pulled out by being clamped between the molded bodies.
  • the new plug arrangement is intended for a line to be led out of it at a line exit point.
  • one of the plugs is designed for a 7-pin motor vehicle socket. It is preferred if a locking groove for engaging a flap of the 7-pin motor vehicle socket is formed in the structural unit.
  • the locking flap is typically supported on the back of a plug that is inserted into a 7-pin automotive socket. However, this is not possible due to the length of the structural unit of the new connector arrangement.
  • the locking groove provided in the assembly provides a remedy here.
  • the other connector of the specific connector arrangement can be designed for a 13-pin automotive socket. It is preferred if a transversely extending support web is provided for a flap of the 13-pin motor vehicle socket. A contact surface for the flap of a 13-pin motor vehicle socket is typically formed on a corresponding plug. The flap lying against it is intended to twist the plug relative to the socket and thus to release a bayonet catch between the Prevent plug and socket.
  • the same function is achieved in the new connector arrangement by the support web extending transversely, ie parallel to the pivot axis of the flap of the 13-pin motor vehicle socket, when the flap is supported on it.
  • the smaller contact surface of the support web compared to the prior art does not result in lower securing forces against unintentional twisting of the plug in the socket. This applies in particular if the support web is provided adjacent to the part of the plug which engages in the 13-pin motor vehicle socket.
  • the lever between the pivot axis of the flap and the support web is particularly small, ie the contact force of the flap on the support web and thus the force securing the connector against rotation is particularly large.
  • the locking groove and the support web are provided on opposite sides of the assembly. In this way, when changing from one type of socket to the other, only the plug arrangement is only rotated by 180 ° about a transverse axis, each line being rotated by exactly this angle about its main axis, but otherwise undergoes no deformation. However, it is also easily possible to provide the locking groove and the support web on the same side of the structural unit. With the length and deformability of most of the available lines, there is no significant disadvantage resulting from the deformation of the lines.
  • the locking groove and the support web are only provided in or on one of the two molded bodies which form the housing of the structural unit.
  • the locking groove leads to a reduction in the cross-sectional torque, which preferably remains limited to one of the two molded bodies. At least the locking groove should not be provided around the entire housing of the assembly.
  • the new connector arrangement prefferably provides at least one protective flap with which the connector that is not used is covered in order to protect it from contamination. It is preferably a protective flap which is used for Cover of both plugs can be used and can be connected to the structural unit via a loss protection.
  • the connector arrangement 1 shown in FIGS . 1 and 2 comprises two connectors 2 and 3, which are housed and combined on a common structural unit 4.
  • Plug 2 is a 7-pin plug for plugging into a 7-pin car socket.
  • Plug 3 is a 13-pin plug for plugging into a 13-pin car socket.
  • the assembly 4 has a housing 5, which is composed of two molded bodies 6 and 7. Each of the shaped bodies 6 and 7 forms part of the plug 2 at one end and part of the plug 3 at its other end.
  • Both molded bodies 6 and 7 are components of the common housing 5 and extend continuously between the plugs 2 and 3.
  • the two molded bodies 6 and 7 are held against one another and acted upon by screws, not shown here, which reach through screw holes 15 and 16 in the molded bodies 6 and 7.
  • plug inserts for the plugs 2 and 3 are held between the two shaped bodies 6 and 7.
  • a protruding plug insert 11 with contact pins 12 is shown, which can be seen in FIG. 1, while FIG. 2 shows contact pins 18 of the plug 2.
  • the plug insert 11 is rotatably mounted as part of the plug 3 relative to a bayonet ring 13 formed by the housing 5 in order to lock the plug arrangement 1 by a rotary movement on a 13-pin socket. So that this locking is not lost, a spring-loaded flap of the 13-pin socket is placed on a support web 10 which extends adjacent to the bayonet ring 13 across the housing 5 and protrudes therefrom.
  • the bearing surface 17 of the Support web 10 thus runs as a narrow band parallel to the pivot axis of the flap of the 13-pin socket.
  • a locking groove 9 is provided in the housing 5, in which the flap can engage.
  • the locking groove 9 still ends in the molded body 7, that is, it does not extend into the molded body 6 and also not by a full 180 ° about the longitudinal axis of the housing 5 in order not to weaken it excessively.
  • the support web 10 is not provided here on the same molded body 7 as the locking groove 9, but on the other molded body 6 and thus on the opposite side of the structural unit 4. However, it is also possible to mount the locking groove 9 and the support web 10 together either on the molded body 6 or to realize the molded body 7.
  • One of the two line exit points 8 is expediently designed as an open opening, while the other line exit point can be designed to be breakable. This advantageously results in several optional connection options. If only one line with 7 wires is to be permanently connected to the connector arrangement 1, the line is led through the open opening of the one line exit point 8 and the wire ends are fixed at 7 screw terminals of the connector 2.
  • the line is also passed through the open opening and 7 wire ends are fixed in contact with 7 screw terminals of connector 2 and 6 wire ends in 6 screw terminals of connector 3. If two lines, one of which is assigned to the right and the other to the left side of the vehicle, have to be connected to the plug arrangement 1, the break-out line exit point is also opened and both lines are led into the interior of the housing 5. The wire ends are fixed accordingly with screw terminals. In the area of each line exit point 8, the line in question is clamped by the mutual action of the molded bodies 6 and 7 in order to implement train protection.
  • the wire pieces have a length that extends up to the screw contacts of the connector 2 and, moreover, allows the connector insert 11 to be rotated relative to the fixed connector 2.
  • the plug insert 11 is in any case a separate part from the housing 5 or the molded bodies 6 and 7.
  • a plug insert of the plug 2 can be formed as a separate part or else in one piece with one of the two molded bodies 6 or 7.
  • the connector 2 always has 7 screw terminals.
  • the lines can also be connected to the connector arrangement 1 in the area of a connector or an additional connection point located in between. In any case, the connection of each line is easily possible after separating the two molded bodies 6 and 7, ie after opening the housing 5 of the plug arrangement 1.
  • the length 14 of the new plug arrangement 1 is recognizably shorter than the length of two conventional plugs for a 7-pin car socket on the one hand and a 13-pin car socket on the other hand.
  • the length 14 is much shorter than the combination of a plug at one end of the line with an adapter, in order to adapt the plug to a motor vehicle socket that does not immediately match. Accordingly, the tilting forces of the plug arrangement 1 occurring around the socket can be easily controlled.
  • only a single structural unit is provided at the end of the line to be connected, so that nothing dangles or swings next to a socket and no component threatens to be lost.
  • a protective cap (not shown) can be provided for each of the plugs 2 and 3.
  • the protective caps are advantageously designed as molded plastic bodies and placed on the connectors 2 and 3 such that the respective contact pins 12 and 18 are covered and thus protected.
