Description

Steckverbinder mit während des Steckvorgangs verrastender Plug connector with locking during the plugging process
Sekundärverriegelungsecondary lock
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Steckverbinder nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1. Solche Steckverbinder finden hauptsächlich Anwendung in Airbag-Zündsystemen.The present invention relates to a connector according to the preamble of claim 1. Such connectors are mainly used in airbag ignition systems.
An die Zuverlässigkeit solcher Steckverbinder und der mit ihnen hergestellten Steckverbindungen, werden höchste Anforderungen gestellt. Dies einerseits hinsichtlich Ihrer Zuverlässigkeit über einen langen Zeitraum und andererseits hinsichtlich des Vermeidens Undefinierter Spannungszustände beim Herstellen der Steckverbindung am Zünder. Es muß zum Beispiel gewährleistet sein, daß der Bedienungsperson eindeutig klar ist, daß der Steckverbinder richtig in seiner Endposition im Gegenstecker sitzt, was herkömmlicherweise durch eine Verrastung gewährleistet wird und andererseits muß gewährleistet sein, daß diese Endstellung während der Betriebszeit und insbesondere bei Reperaturarbeiten am Kraftfahrzeug nicht unbeabsichtigt verlassen wird. Dies erreicht man durch eine Sekundärverriegelung, d. h. der Verriegelung von Rastarmen in ihrer verrasteten Stelle, so daß eine Steckverbindung nicht mehr unbeabsichtigt gelöst werden kann.The highest demands are placed on the reliability of such connectors and the plug connections they produce. This on the one hand with regard to their reliability over a long period of time and on the other hand with regard to avoiding undefined voltage states when establishing the plug connection on the igniter. For example, it must be ensured that the operator is clearly aware that the connector is correctly seated in its end position in the mating connector, which is conventionally ensured by latching, and on the other hand it must be ensured that this end position during the operating time and in particular when repairing the motor vehicle is not left unintentionally. This is achieved through a secondary lock, i.e. H. the locking of locking arms in their locked position, so that a connector can no longer be unintentionally released.
Bekannte Steckverbinder für Airbag-Zündsysteme, wie beispielsweise aus der DE 125 295 AI" der Patentanmelderin bekannt, verwenden Sekundärverriegelungen, die erst dann aktiviert werden können, wenn der Steckverbinder bereits in den entsprechenden Gegenstecker eingesteckt ist. D. h., in der Montagestellung befindet sich die Sekundärverriegelung in einer Zwischenstellung verrastet, aus der er nach Herstellung der Steckverbindung mit dem Gegenstecker in seine Endstellung verbracht wird. Der Steckverbinder wird also mit einer Sekundärverriegelung in einer Zwischenstellung angeliefert, wobei es bei der Anlieferung oder bei der Handhabung des Steckverbinders passieren kann, daß die Sekundärverriegelung unbeabsichtigterweise sich bereits in ihrer Endstellung befindet, wenn die Steckverbindung hergestellt werden soll, wodurch letzteres jedoch verhindert wird. Die Sekundärverriegelung wieder zu lösen, bedeutet zusätzlichen Zeitaufwand und macht eine gegebenenfalls automatisch erfolgende Montage unmöglich. Außerdem kann nach erfolgter Steckverbindung vergessen werden, auch die Sekundärverriegelung zu verrasten, so daß nicht mit Sicherheit ausgeschlossen werden kann, daß die Steckverbindung weiterhin lösbar ist.Known connectors for airbag ignition systems, as known for example from DE 125 295 AI "of the applicant, use secondary interlocks which can only be activated when the connector is already plugged into the corresponding mating connector. That is, in the assembly position the secondary locking mechanism locks into an intermediate position from which it is brought into its end position after the plug connection has been made with the mating connector. The connector is therefore delivered with a secondary locking mechanism in an intermediate position, which can happen during delivery or when handling the connector, that the secondary locking device is inadvertently already in its end position when the plug connection is to be made, but this prevents the latter To solve, means additional time and makes an automatic assembly, if necessary, impossible. In addition, after the plug connection has been made, it can also be forgotten to lock the secondary locking, so that it cannot be ruled out with certainty that the plug connection can still be released.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen gattungsgemäßen Steckverbinder dahingehend zu verbessern, daß eine Sekundärverriegelung nicht mehr separat nach erfolgter Verbindung mit einem Gegenstecker hergestellt werden muß, sondern bereits gleichzeitig beim Ineinanderstecken von Steckverbinder und Gegenstecker erfolgt.The invention is therefore based on the object of improving a generic connector in such a way that a secondary lock no longer has to be produced separately after connection with a mating connector, but already takes place simultaneously when the connector and mating connector are inserted into one another.
Diese Aufgabe wird anspruchgsgemäß gelöst.This task is solved according to the claims.
In den Unteransprüchen sind bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen des erfindungsgemäßen Steckverbinders gekennzeichnet. Das Prinzip der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, daß die radiale Verschwenkbewegung einer Verriegelungszunge beim Einrasten unter einer entsprechenden Schulter im Gegenstecker zur Steuerung der Bewegung von Sekundärverriegelungszungen verwendet wird, die während des Einsteckvorgangs vorgespannt werden, so daß ihnen beim Einrasten der Verriegelungszungen der Weg freigegeben wird, sich mit ihren freien Enden hinter die Verriegelungszungen zu bewegen, um damit ein Lösen der Verriegelungszungen unmöglich zu machen.Preferred embodiments of the connector according to the invention are characterized in the subclaims. The principle of the present invention is that the radial pivoting movement of a locking tongue when snapped in under a corresponding shoulder in the mating connector is used to control the movement of secondary locking tongues that are biased during the insertion process, so that the path is released when the locking tongues snap into place. move behind the locking tabs with their free ends to make it impossible to release the locking tabs.

Figur 1 zeigt den erfindungsgemäßen Steckverbinder 1 mit einem Gehäuse, das im wesentlichen aus dem Steckverbinderkörper 6, dem Deckel 8 und dem Bügel 9 besteht. Der Steckerteil erstreckt sich im rechten Winkel von dem flachbauenden Gehäuse. Der Steckteil weist Verriegelungszungen 2 zum Verriegeln des Steckverbinders 1 in einem Gegenstecker 3 auf. Vom Bügel 9, der am Steckverbinderkörper 6 durch Verrasten befestigt ist, ragen zu beiden Seiten der Verriegelungszunge 2 Sekundärverriegelungszungen 4a, 4b in Steckrichtung auf.Figure 1 shows the connector 1 according to the invention with a housing which consists essentially of the connector body 6, the cover 8 and the bracket 9. The plug part extends at a right angle from the flat housing. The plug part has locking tongues 2 for locking the connector 1 in a mating connector 3. Secondary locking tongues 4a, 4b protrude from the bracket 9, which is fastened to the connector body 6 by latching, on both sides of the locking tongue 4a in the plugging direction.
Figur 2 zeigt die wesentlichen Bestandteile des erfindungsgemäßen Steckverbinders in Explosionsdarstellung. Von unten nach oben besteht der Steckverbinder aus dem Steckverbinderkörper 6, an dessen Steckerteil die Verriegelungszungen 2 eingeformt sind. In den Steckerkörper 6 sind die Kabel 11 eingeleitet, die durch einen Ferritkern 10 geführt sind und mit Steckverbinderbμchsen 12 vercrimpt sind. Der Steckverbinder wird abgeschlossen durch den Deckel 8, auf den oberhalb des Steckerteils der Bügel 9 aufgesteckt wird. Die Befestigung aller Gehäuseteile miteinander erfolgt jeweils über Verrastung.Figure 2 shows the essential components of the connector according to the invention in an exploded view. From bottom to top, the connector consists of the connector body 6, on the connector part of which the locking tongues 2 are molded. The cables 11 are introduced into the connector body 6, which are guided through a ferrite core 10 and crimped with connector sleeves 12. The connector is closed by the cover 8, on which the bracket 9 is placed above the connector part. All parts of the housing are fastened together by means of latching.
Figur 3 zeigt den Bügel 9 in perspektivischer Ansicht. Neben hier nicht näheren Verrastungszungen zum Verrasten des Bügels am Steckverbinderkörper 6 erkennt man 2 Paare vonFigure 3 shows the bracket 9 in a perspective view. In addition to the latching tongues (not shown here) for latching the bracket on the connector body 6, 2 pairs of can be seen
Sekundärverriegelungszungen 4a, 4b, an deren voneinander abgewandten Seiten Keile 4e, 4f angeformt sind. Man erkennt ferner, daß das Profil der Sekundärverriegelungszungen 4a, 4b sich in freien Enden 4c, 4d verjüngt. Die Figur 4a und 4b zeigen den Steckvorgang des Steckverbinders 1 in den Gegenstecker 3. Von dem Gegenstecker 3 ist nur ein Inlet gezeigt, das im Bereich der Verriegelungszunge 2 aufgeschnitten ist, um den Steckerteil des Steckverbinders 1 zu zeigen. Figur 4a zeigt den Steckverbinder 1 soweit in den Gegenstecker 3 eingesteckt, daß die Keile 4e, 4f auf dem oberen Rand des Einführungsschlitzes 7 im Gegenstecker 3 aufliegen. In dieser Stellung stößt gleichzeitig die Rastnase 2c auf eine in dieser Abbildung nicht gezeigte Rastschulter am Gegenstecker 3, so daß bei dem in Figur 4b gezeigten weiteren Hereindrücken des Steckverbinders 1 in den Gegenstecker 3 sich die Verriegelungszunge 2 beim Überwinden der Schulter in Richtung Steckachse verbiegt.Secondary locking tongues 4a, 4b, on the opposite sides of which wedges 4e, 4f are formed. It can also be seen that the profile of the secondary locking tongues 4a, 4b tapers in free ends 4c, 4d. FIGS. 4a and 4b show the plugging process of the connector 1 into the mating connector 3. Only one inlet is shown of the mating connector 3, which is cut open in the area of the locking tongue 2 in order to show the connector part of the connector 1. Figure 4a shows the connector 1 inserted into the mating connector 3 so far that the wedges 4e, 4f rest on the upper edge of the insertion slot 7 in the mating connector 3. In this position, the locking lug 2c simultaneously encounters a locking shoulder (not shown in this figure) on the mating connector 3, so that when the connector 1 is pushed further into the mating connector 3, as shown in FIG. 4b, the locking tongue 2 bends in the direction of the plug-in axis when the shoulder is overcome.
Dieses Verbiegen der Verriegelungszunge 2 führt dazu, daß der Vorsprung 2D (siehe Figur 5) in Richtung Steckachse bewegt wird und somit den freien Enden 4c, 4d der Sekundärverriegelungszungen 4a, 4b eine Anlagefläche bietet. Beim weiteren Hereindrücken des Steckverbinders 1 verbiegen sich die mittleren Bereiche der Sekundäreverriegelungszungen 4a, 4b auf Grund des Kontaktes der Keile 4e, 4f mit den Schmalseiten des Einführungsschlitzes 7 soweit, daß diese mittleren Bereiche sich in den Raum 5 zwischen der Verriegelungszunge 2 und dem Steckverbinderkörper 6 hineinbiegen.This bending of the locking tongue 2 leads to the projection 2D (see FIG. 5) being moved in the direction of the plug-in axis and thus providing the free ends 4c, 4d of the secondary locking tongues 4a, 4b with a contact surface. When the connector 1 is pushed in further, the central regions of the secondary locking tongues 4a, 4b bend due to the contact of the wedges 4e, 4f with the narrow sides of the insertion slot 7 to such an extent that these central regions extend into the space 5 between the locking tongue 2 and the connector body 6 in turn.
Im verrasteten Zustand, d.h. der Steckverbinder 1 ist vollständig in den Gegenstecker 3 eingesteckt, springt die Verriegelungszunge 2 wieder in ihre Ausgangsstellung zurück, nachdem sie die (nicht gezeigte) Rastschulter in Gegenstecker 3 überwunden hat. Gleichzeitig gibt sie den Raum 5 im Bereich der freien Enden 4c, 4d der Sekundärverriegelungszungen 4a, 4b wieder frei, bietet somit keine Anlagenflächen mehr, so daß diese auf Grund der elastischen Verbiegung der Selαindärverrieglungszungen 4a, 4b hinter die Verriegelungszunge 2 in den Raum 5 springen, wie dies in Figur 4b gezeigt ist. Damit ist die Sekundärverriegelung hergestellt, weil die Verriegelungszunge 2 sich nicht mehr aus ihrer verrasteten Stellung in Richtung auf die Steckachse bewegen kann. Figur 5 zeigt den Steckverbinderkörper 6 alleine, wobei man den Raum 5 zwischen dem Steckverbinderkörper 6 und der Verriegelungszunge 2 deutlich erkennt. Man erkennt ferner die Ausgestaltung der Rastnase 2c an der Verriegelungszunge 2 und auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite den Vorsprung 2d, dessen Breite d, die ebenfalls gezeigt ist, entspricht dem Betrag, um den sich in diesem Bereich das Profil der in Figur 3 gezeigten Sekundärverrieglungszungen zu deren freien Enden 4c, 4d hin verjüngt.In the locked state, ie the connector 1 is fully inserted into the mating connector 3, the locking tongue 2 springs back into its starting position after it has overcome the (not shown) locking shoulder in the mating connector 3. At the same time, it frees up the space 5 in the area of the free ends 4c, 4d of the secondary locking tongues 4a, 4b, thus no longer offers any system surfaces, so that they jump behind the locking tongue 2 into space 5 due to the elastic bending of the selαindärverrieglungszungen 4a, 4b as shown in Figure 4b. So that the secondary lock is made because the locking tongue 2 can no longer move from its locked position in the direction of the thru axle. FIG. 5 shows the connector body 6 alone, the space 5 between the connector body 6 and the locking tongue 2 being clearly recognizable. One can also see the design of the locking lug 2c on the locking tongue 2 and on the opposite side the projection 2d, whose width d, which is also shown, corresponds to the amount by which the profile of the secondary locking tongues shown in FIG free ends 4c, 4d tapered.
Figur 6 zeigt noch einmal eine teilweise aufgeschnittene Ansicht des Steckverbinders 1 nach Verrastung im Gegenstecker 3. Man erkennt wiederum deutlich, daß die freien Enden 4c, 4d der Sekundärverriegelungszungen 4 ein Zurückschwingen der Verriegelungszunge 2 in den freien Raum 5 blockieren.Figure 6 shows again a partially cut-open view of the connector 1 after latching in the mating connector 3. It can be clearly seen that the free ends 4c, 4d of the secondary locking tongues 4 block the locking tongue 2 from swinging back into the free space 5.
Figur 7 zeigt 2 alternative Möglichkeiten, wie man den Bügel 9 vom Steckverbinder 1 lösen kann. Dies geschieht entweder, wie man links erkennt, durch ein Untergreifen der seitlichen Ränder des Bügels 9 mit den Fingernägeln bzw. Fingern oder mit Hilfe eines Werkzeugs, beispielsweise eines flachen Schraubenziehers 13 oder dergleichen, den man in eine dafür vorgesehene Vertiefung steckt, mit der die Spitze des Schraubenziehers unter den Deckel des Bügels 9 geführt wird. Dann hebelt man den Bügel 9 hoch, wie dies in Figur 8 gezeigt ist, soweit, daß die Sekundärverriegelungszungen soweit angehoben sind, daß sie ein Verschwenken der freien Enden 2c der Verriegelungszungen 2 zur Steckachse hin nicht mehr blockieren. In dieser Stellung kann, wie in Figur 8 rechts gezeigt ist, der Steckverbinder 1 aus dem Gegenstecker 3 entfernt werden.FIG. 7 shows two alternative ways of removing the bracket 9 from the connector 1. This is done either, as can be seen on the left, by reaching under the side edges of the bracket 9 with the fingernails or fingers or with the aid of a tool, for example a flat screwdriver 13 or the like, which is inserted into a recess provided for this purpose Tip of the screwdriver is guided under the lid of the bracket 9. Then the bracket 9 is levered up, as shown in FIG. 8, to such an extent that the secondary locking tongues are raised to such an extent that they no longer block pivoting of the free ends 2c of the locking tongues 2 towards the stub axle. In this position, as shown in FIG. 8 on the right, the connector 1 can be removed from the mating connector 3.
