Abstract

The invention relates to a plug connector, particularly for airbag activation systems, comprising locking tongues ( 2 ), which are oriented in the direction of plugging-in and provided for locking the plug connector ( 1 ) inside a mating connector ( 3 ), and comprising a secondary locking system ( 4 ). This secondary locking system ( 4 ) has secondary locking tongues ( 4 a , 4 b) that are joined to the plug connector ( 1 ) in a fixed manner. When locking tongues ( 2 ) engage inside the mating connector ( 3 ), said secondary locking tongues elastically spring into the space ( 5 ) between locking tongues ( 2 ) and the plug connector body ( 6 ) while engaging therewith.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Steckverbinder nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1. Ein gattungsgemäßer Steckverbinder ist aus der EP-A-1 207 591 bekannt.Solche Steckverbinder finden hauptsächlich Anwendung in Airbag-Zündsystemen.The present invention relates to a connector according to the Preamble of claim 1. A generic connector is from EP-A-1 207 591. Such connectors find 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 Reparaturarbeiten 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.To the reliability of such connectors and with them manufactured connectors are made highest demands. This on the one hand in terms of their reliability over a long period and on the other hand with regard to the avoidance of undefined Voltage conditions when establishing the connector on the igniter. It For example, it must be ensured that the operator is unique It is clear that the connector is correctly in its final position in the Mating connector sits, which is traditionally by a catch on the other hand, it must be ensured that End position during the operating time and in particular at Repair work on the vehicle is not left unintentionally. This is achieved by secondary locking, i. the lock by latching arms in their latched position, leaving a plug connection can not be solved unintentionally.

Bekannte Steckverbinder für Airbag-Zündsysteme, wie beispielsweise aus der DE 10025 295 A1 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 connector for airbag ignition systems, such as DE 10025 295 A1 of the patent applicant, use Secondary locks, which can only be activated when the Connector is already plugged into the corresponding mating connector. That is, in the mounting position, the secondary latch is in one Intermediate position latched, from which he after making the Plug connection is spent with the mating connector in its end position. The connector is thus with a secondary lock in one Intermediate position delivered, whereby it at the delivery or at the Handling the connector can happen that the Secondary lock inadvertently already in their End position is when the connector is to be made, whereby the latter is prevented, however. The secondary lock again solving means extra time and makes one if necessary automatic assembly impossible. In addition, after successful Plug connection are forgotten, also the secondary lock too latch so that can not be ruled out with certainty that the connector is still solvable.

Die EP-A-1 207 591 beschreibt einen Steckverbinder, insbesondere für Airbag-Zündsysteme, mit in Steckrichtung angeordneten Verriegelungszungen zum Verrasten des Steckverbinders in einem Gegenstecker und mit einer Sekundärverriegelung, die nach erfolgter (Primär-) Verriegelung einen Spalt zwischen den Verriegelungszungen und dem Steckverbindergehäuse auffüllt, um ein Lösen der Verriegelung zu verhindern. Die Sekundärverriegelung kann erst nach der Primärverriegelung stattfinden und erfordert daher einen zweiten Arbeitsgang, um den Einsteckprozess abzuschließen.EP-A-1 207 591 describes a connector, in particular for Airbag ignition systems, with arranged in the direction of insertion Locking tongues for locking the connector in one Mating connector and with a secondary lock, which after successful (Primary) locking a gap between the locking tabs and fills the connector housing to release the lock to prevent. The secondary lock can only after the Primary lock take place and therefore requires a second Operation to complete the insertion process.

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, a generic Improve connectors in that a secondary lock no longer separately after connection with a mating connector must be made, but already at the same time nesting from connector and mating connector.

Diese Aufgabe wird anspruchsgemäß 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.In the dependent claims are preferred embodiments of marked connector according to the invention. The principle of present invention is that the radial pivoting movement a locking tongue when snapping under a corresponding Shoulder in mating connector to control the movement of Secondary locking tongues is used during the Be pre-tensioned insertion, so that when snapping the Locking tongues the way is released, with their free ends to move behind the locking tabs, thereby releasing the Locking tongues impossible to make.

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.FIG. 1 shows the connector 1 according to the invention with a housing, essentially from the connector body 6, the lid 8 and consists of the bracket 9. The plug part extends at right angles from the flat-building housing. The male part has locking tongues 2 for locking the connector 1 in a mating connector 3. from Bracket 9, which is secured to the connector body 6 by latching, protrude on both sides of the locking tongue 2 secondary locking tongues 4a, 4b in the insertion 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 Steckverbinderbuchsen 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.FIG. 2 shows the essential components of the invention Connector in exploded view. From bottom to top is the Connector from the connector body 6, at the plug part of the Locking tongues 2 are formed. In the plug body 6 are the Cable 11 introduced, which are guided by a ferrite core 10 and with Connector sockets 12 are crimped. The connector will completed by the lid 8, on the above the plug part of the Strap 9 is attached. The attachment of all housing parts together takes place via 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 von 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. Figure 3 shows the bracket 9 in a perspective view. Not here closer Verrastungszungen for locking the bracket on Connector body 6 can be seen 2 pairs of Secondary locking tongues 4a, 4b, facing away from each other Side wedges 4e, 4f are formed. It can also be seen that the profile of Secondary locking tongues 4a, 4b taper in free ends 4c, 4d.

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.Figures 4a and 4b show the plugging operation of the connector 1 in the Mating connector 3. Of the mating connector 3, only one Inlet is shown in the Section of the locking tongue 2 is cut to the plug part of the Connector 1 to show. FIG. 4a shows the connector 1 as far as in FIG the mating connector 3 inserted, that the wedges 4e, 4f on the upper edge of the insertion slot 7 in the mating connector 3 rest. In this position simultaneously pushes the locking lug 2 c on a not shown in this figure Locking shoulder on the mating connector 3, so that in the shown in Figure 4b further impressions of the connector 1 in the mating connector 3 itself the locking tongue 2 when overcoming the shoulder in the direction Thrust axle bends.

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 causes the projection 2D (see Figure 5) is moved in the direction of thru-axle and thus the free Ends 4c, 4d of the secondary locking tongues 4a, 4b a contact surface offers. Upon further pushing in the connector 1 bend the middle portions of the secondary lock tabs 4a, 4b due to the contact of the wedges 4e, 4f with the narrow sides of the Insertion slot 7 so far that these central areas are in the Room 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 Sekundärverrieglungszungen 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. In the locked state, i. the connector 1 is completely in the Mating plug 3 inserted, the locking tongue 2 jumps back into their Starting position after the (not shown) latching shoulder in Mating connector 3 has overcome. At the same time she gives the room 5 in Area of the free ends 4c, 4d of the secondary locking tongues 4a, 4b again free, thus no longer offers plant areas, so that this reason the elastic bending of the Sekundärverrieglungszungen 4a, 4b behind the locking tongue 2 jump into the space 5, as in Figure 4b is shown. Thus, the secondary lock is made because the Locking tongue 2 is no longer out of its locked position in Direction to the thru axle can move.

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.FIG. 5 shows the connector body 6 alone, wherein the space 5 between the connector body 6 and the locking tongue. 2 clearly recognizes. It also recognizes the design of the locking lug 2c the locking tongue 2 and on the opposite side of the Projection 2d, whose width d, which is also shown, corresponds to the Amount by which in this area the profile of that shown in Figure 3 Secondary Verrieglungszungen to the free ends 4c, 4d tapers.

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.FIG. 6 shows once again a partially cutaway view of FIG Connector 1 after locking in the mating connector 3. You can see again clearly that the free ends 4c, 4d of the Secondary locking tongues 4 a swinging back the Lock the locking tongue 2 in 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.Figure 7 shows 2 alternative ways of how to see the bow 9 of Can solve connector 1. This happens either as you left recognizes, by taking under the lateral edges of the bracket 9 with the Fingernails or fingers or with the help of a tool, for example a flat screwdriver 13 or the like, which you put in a provided recess with which the tip of the screwdriver is guided under the lid of the bracket 9. Then you lever the bracket 9 high, as shown in Figure 8, so far that the Secondary locking tongues are raised so far that they a Swiveling the free ends 2c of the locking tongues 2 to Do not block the thru axle. In this position, as in FIG 8 is shown on the right, the connector 1 removed from the mating connector 3 become.
