Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a connector assembly according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such connector assemblies are particularly suitable for inserting plug faces with a large number of plug pins, so that the required insertion force is large.
  • the cross slide with link ramps which is operated via a swivel lever * , makes insertion easier by using the lever laws.
  • the slide grooves and slide blocks required for this are generally attached to the widest side walls of the 'plug connector, the slide blocks being inserted into the slide grooves closed at both ends by elastic bending of the side walls. When the sliding blocks are seated in the grooves, the side walls snap back elastically into their original position, so that the cross slide and / or the pivot lever are mounted. This procedure is not suitable for automatic assembly, which lengthens the manufacturing process and therefore makes it more expensive.
  • the present invention has for its object to improve a generic connector assembly to the extent that it is suitable for mechanical assembly.
  • the invention is based on the idea of making all the necessary scenes open on one side, so that it is not necessary to bend open housing walls to introduce the sliding blocks. Further precautions and certain arrangement geometries of the open ends ensure that the sliding blocks cannot inadvertently emerge from the sliding grooves.
  • Figure 1 shows two complementary housings of the connector assembly according to the invention. 2 shows the cross slide actuated by a swivel lever; and Fig. 3 the pivot lever in a perspective view.
  • the 1 shows a first housing 1, in which a socket arrangement 4 forms the mating face.
  • the bearing shells 11 for receiving the bearing stones 16 of the pivoting lever 5 and circular segment links 9.
  • the circular segment links 9 are open at one end by a straight extension in the opposite direction to the direction of insertion.
  • the bearing shell is thus 11 and the circular segment link 9 open to the same side, so that the pivot lever 5 can be inserted from behind in the plug-in direction with its link blocks or bearing blocks 16, 18.
  • the bearing shell 11 has on one side a spring arm 17 which runs obliquely to the insertion direction, the free end of which is pivoted away when the bearing block is inserted in order to spring back into the starting position when the bearing block 16 has reached its end position. As a result, the bearing block 16 is locked in its end position.
  • the second housing 2 has a complementary arrangement of connector pins 3. Furthermore, sliding blocks 12a, 12b are shown, which are inserted into corresponding sliding grooves 7a, 7b of the cross slide 6 shown in FIG. 2.
  • the link grooves 7a, 7b of the cross slide 6 are open in the direction of insertion, so that the link blocks 12a, 12b can be inserted without bending the cross slide walls.
  • the ramp-shaped slotted grooves 7a, 7b unlike the circular segment slotted grooves 9, are not continuous, but only form grooves in the inner walls of the transverse slide walls 6.
  • connection is designed to be captive and allows the machine parts to be inserted quickly into one another.
  • Fig. 3 shows the pivot lever 5 in a perspective view.
  • the bearing blocks 16 and the link blocks 18 can be seen, which are inserted into grooves 8 on the outer walls of the cross slide 6, which are open against the plug direction, and which move the cross slide transversely to the plug direction when the pivoting lever is rotated, as a result of which the link blocks 12a, 12b climb up the ramps of the scenes 7a, 7b, whereby the two at the same time Connector housings 1, 2 are moved towards one another and plug pins and plug sockets are pushed into one another.

Description

Verbinderanordnung
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Verbinderanordnung nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1. Solche Verbinderanordnungen eignen sich insbesondere zum Ineinanderstecken von Steckgesichtern mit einer großen Anzahl von Steckerstiften, so daß die erforderliche Einfügungskraft groß ist. Durch den Querschieber mit Kulissenrampen, der über einen Schwenkhebel betätigt* wird, läßt sich das Einfügen durch Ausnutzung der Hebelgesetze erleichtern. Die dazu notwendigen Kulissennuten und Kulissensteine sind in der Regel an den breitesten Seitenwänden der 'Steckverbinder angebracht, wobei durch elastisches Verbiegen der Seitenwände die Kulissensteine in die an beiden Enden geschlossenen Kulissennuten eingeführt wurden. Wenn die Kulissensteine in den Nuten sitzen, schnappen die Seitenwände in ihre ursprüngliche Stellung elastisch zurück, so daß der Querschieber und/ oder der Schwenkhebel montiert sind. Diese Vorgehensweise eignet sich nicht für eine automatische Montage, was den Fertigungsprozeß verlängert und somit verteuert. Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine gattungsgemäße Verbinderanordnung dahingehend zu verbessern, daß sie sich für eine maschinelle Montage eignet.
Diese Aufgabe wird anspruchsgemäß gelöst. In den Unteransprüchen sind Merkmale bevorzugter Ausführungsbeispiele gekennzeichnet.
Der Erfindung liegt die Idee zugrunde, alle notwendigen Kulissen an einer Seite offen zu gestalten, so daß ein Aufbiegen von Gehäusewänden zur Einführung der Kulissensteine nicht notwendig wird. Weitere Vorkehrungen und bestimmte Anordnungsgeometrien der offenen Enden sorgen dafür, daß die Kulissensteine nicht unbeabsichtigt aus den Kulissennuten heraustreten können.
Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand der Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung näher erläutert. Darin zeigen:
Fig. 1 zwei komplementäre Gehäuse der erfindungsgemäßen Verbinderanordnung; Fig. 2 den von einem Schwenkhebel betätigten Querschieber; und Fig. 3 den Schwenkhebel in perspektivischer Ansicht.
In Fig. 1 erkennt man ein erstes Gehäuse 1, in dem eine Buchsenanordnung 4 das Steckgesicht bildet. An der Rückseite des Gehäuses 1 befinden sich die Lagerschalen 11 zur Aufnahme der Lagersteine 16 des Schwenkhebels 5 und Kreissegmentkulissen 9. Die Kreissegmentkulissen 9 sind an einem Ende durch eine gerade Verlängerung in Gegenrichtung zur Steckrichtung offen. Somit sind die Lagerschale 11 und die Kreissegmentkulisse 9 zur gleichen Seite hin offen, so daß der Schwenkhebel 5 von hinten in Steckrichtung mit seinen Kulissensteinen bzw. Lagersteinen 16, 18 eingeführt werden kann. Die Lagerschale 11 weist an einer Seite einen schräg zur Steckrichtung verlaufenden Federarm 17 auf, dessen freies Ende beim Einfügen des Lagersteins durch diesen weggeschwenkt wird, um in die Ausgangsstellung zurückzufedern, wenn der Lagerstein 16 seine Endposition erreicht hat. Dadurch wird der Lagerstein 16 in seiner Endstellung verriegelt.
Das zweite Gehäuse 2 weist eine komplementäre Anordnung Steckerstifte 3 auf. Ferner sind Kulissensteine 12a, 12b gezeigt, die in entsprechende Kulissennuten 7a, 7b des in Fig. 2 gezeigten Querschiebers 6 eingeführt werden. Auch die Kulissennuten 7a, 7b des Querschiebers 6 sind in Steckrichtung offen, so daß die Kulissensteine 12a, 12b ohne Verbiegen der Querschieberwände einführbar sind. Die rampenförmigen Kulissennuten 7a, 7b sind anders als die Kreissegmentkulissennuten 9 nicht durchgängig, sondern bilden lediglich Rillen in den Innenwänden der Querschieberwände 6. An den Öffnungen 7c, 7d sind Zungen mit Rastnasen 14 ausgebildet, wobei die schrägen Rastnasen von den Kulissensteinen 12a, 12b beim Einfügen überwunden werden müssen, um in die Kulissenrampen zu gelangen. Auf diese Weise ist die Verbindung verliersicher gestaltet und erlaubt ein schnelles maschinelles Einfügen der Verbinderteile ineinander.
Fig. 3 zeigt den Schwenkhebel 5 in perspektivischer Ansicht. Man erkennt die Lagersteine 16 und die Kulissen steine 18, die in an den Außenwänden des Querschiebers 6 angebrachten Nuten 8, die entgegen der Steckrichtμng offen sind, eingeführt werden und die den Querschieber bei Verdrehen des Schwenkhebels quer zur Steckrichtung verschieben, wodurch die Kulissensteine 12a, 12b die Rampen der Kulissen 7a, 7b hinaufwandern, wodurch gleichzeitig die beiden Steckverbindergehäuse 1, 2 aufeinander zu bewegt werden und Steckerstifte und Steckerbuchsen ineinandergeschoben werden.
Die vorstehende Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels der vorliegenden Erfindung ist nicht einschränkend zu verstehen, sondern dient lediglich zur Erläuterung der in den Ansprüchen beschriebenen Erfindung.
