Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Befestigung eines Steckverbinders in einem isolierenden Modulgehäuse eines Modulsteckers.The invention relates to a device for fastening a connector in an insulating module housing of a module plug.

Eine derartige erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung wird benötigt, um eine selbsthaltende Arretierung eines Steckerverbinders in einem Modulgehäuse oder einem Gegenstecker zu erreichen.Such a device according to the invention is required in order to achieve a self-retaining locking of a plug connector in a module housing or a mating connector.

Die US 6,264,504 B1 offenbart einen elektrischen Steckverbinder, der aus einem isolierenden Gehäuse 1 besteht. Das Gehäuse weist zwei Kammern auf, in welchen die Kontaktelemente des Steckverbinders angeordnet sind. In den Kammern ist ein innerer metallischer Schild eingebracht, der Federelemente mit Rastfedern umfasst. Über die Rastfedern wird ein passender Gegenstecker in der Kammer festgeklemmt. Der Schild hat hier eine Doppelfunktion, er soll die Kontaktelemente elektromagnetisch abschirmen und den Gegenstecker fixieren.The US 6,264,504 B1 discloses an electrical connector consisting of an insulating housing 1. The housing has two chambers, in which the contact elements of the connector are arranged. In the chambers, an inner metallic shield is incorporated, comprising spring elements with detent springs. About the detent springs a matching mating connector is clamped in the chamber. The shield has a double function here, it should shield the contact elements electromagnetically and fix the mating connector.

Die US 2004/0029444 A1 zeigt ein Steckverbinder. Ein Bauteil des Steckverbinders besteht aus einer Doppel-USB-Buchse mit angeschlossenem Kabel. Die Doppel-USB-Buchse wird in das Unterteil eines zweiteiligen Gehäusekörpers mithilfe von Federelementen und daran angeformten Rastfedern fixiert. Anschließend wird das Gehäuseoberteil mit dem Gehäuseoberteil verrastet. Die Federelemente sind leitend mit der Außenhaut der USB-Buchsen und dem Gehäusekörper verbunden um eine ausreichende elektromagnetische Schirmung des Steckverbinders sicherzustellen.The US 2004/0029444 A1 shows a connector. A component of the connector consists of a double USB socket with attached cable. The double USB socket is fixed in the lower part of a two-part housing body by means of spring elements and detent springs formed thereon. Subsequently, the upper housing part is locked to the upper housing part. The spring elements are conductively connected to the outer skin of the USB sockets and the housing body to ensure sufficient electromagnetic shielding of the connector.

Es ist bekannt Steckverbinder in Modulgehäusen zu arretieren. Bekannte Arretierungsvorrichtungen sind u. a. Verschraubungen, Haken, Klemmvorrichtungen oder Haltebügeln, die aber stets mit entsprechenden manuellen Tätigkeiten verbunden.
Im Bereich der bürokommunikativen Schnittstellen ist aber zunehmend eine einfache und für jeden Laien ausführbare Stecktechnik wünschenswert.It is known to lock connectors in module housings. Known locking devices include screws, hooks, clamps or brackets, but always associated with appropriate manual activities.
In the field of office communication interfaces, however, a simple and executable for every layman plug-in technology is increasingly desirable.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zur Befestigung eines Steckverbinders der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend auszubilden, dass während des Steckvorganges gleichzeitig eine Arretierung zwischen dem Steckverbinder und einem dazu vorgesehenen Modul erfolgt.The invention is therefore based on the object to form a device for fastening a connector of the type mentioned in that at the same time a locking between the connector and a module provided for this purpose during the insertion process.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist in den Ansprüchen 2 - 5 angegeben.An advantageous embodiment of the invention is specified in claims 2-5.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, dass mit dem Steckvorgang dieser Steckverbindung gleichzeitig der Arretierungsvorgang zwischen einem in einem Modul einzufügenden Steckverbinder erfolgt, ohne dass eine weitere Tätigkeit durch eine ausführende Person nötig ist.
Bei diesen Steckverbindern sind keine exakten Vorgaben oder Anformungen für die Abmaße der Stecker vorgesehen, die in der Regel als Konfektionsware mit umspritzten, vormontiertem Kabel, wie z. B. bei sogenannte USB-Steckverbindern, geliefert werden.
In dem hier vorgesehenen Modulgehäuse zur Aufnahme eines derartigen Steckverbindergehäuses sind vorteilhafterweise symmetrisch angeordnete Rastelemente vorgesehen, die eine Rastfeder aufweisen, die in einem flachen Winkel in den Steckbereich des Modulgehäuses hinein gerichtet sind und das Steckverbindergehäuse beidseitig fixieren.
Das Modulgehäuse wiederum ist in einem Rahmen eines mehrere Module aufnehmenden Modulsteckverbinders verrastbar oder verschraubbar.
Beim Steckvorgang gleitet die in Steckrichtung ausgerichtete Rastfeder zunächst vorteilhaft an den Schmalseiten im Steckbereich des Steckverbindergehäuses entlang, verhakt jedoch sofort in der relativ weichen Gehäusewandung des Steckbereiches, sobald versucht wird, den Steckverbinder wieder zurückzuziehen.
Vorteilhaft ist weiterhin, dass die in ihren Außenabmaßen weitgehend ungenormten Steckverbindergehäuse eine gewisse Bandbreite aufweisen können, um dennoch in dem Modulgehäuse arretiert werden zu können.The advantages achieved by the invention are, in particular, that at the same time the locking process between a plugged into a module connector is done with the plug-in operation of this connector, without further action by an executive person is necessary.
In these connectors, no exact specifications or formations for the dimensions of the plug are provided, which are usually as ready-made with overmolded, pre-assembled cable, such. B. in so-called USB connectors are delivered.
In the module housing provided here for receiving such a connector housing advantageously symmetrically arranged locking elements are provided which have a detent spring, which are directed at a shallow angle in the mating region of the module housing in and fix the connector housing on both sides.
The module housing in turn can be latched or screwed in a frame of a module connector receiving a plurality of modules.
When plugging the aligned in the insertion direction detent spring slides initially advantageous along the narrow sides in the mating region of the connector housing, but hooked immediately in the relatively soft housing wall of the plug-in area as soon as it tries to retract the connector again.
A further advantage is that the connector housings, which are largely non-standardized in terms of their external dimensions, can have a certain bandwidth in order to still be able to be locked in the module housing.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

Fig. 1
eine perspektivische Ansicht auf ein geschnittenes Modulgehäuse,
Fig. 2
einen teilweise gesteckter Steckerverbinder in dem Modulgehäuse und,
Fig. 3
ein einzelnes Federelement.
An embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the drawing and will be explained in more detail below. Show it:
Fig. 1
a perspective view of a cut module housing,
Fig. 2
a partially inserted plug connector in the module housing and,
Fig. 3
a single spring element.

In der Fig. 1 ist in einer perspektivischen Ansicht ein aufgeschnittenes Modulgehäuse 10 gezeigt.
An den Außenkanten sind jeweils Rasthaken 6 angeformt, mittels derer das Modulgehäuse, neben weiteren aneinanderreihbaren Modulgehäusen, in einem Rahmen eines Modularsteckverbinders (hier nicht gezeigt) einrastbar ist.
Das Modulgehäuse 10 weist einen Steckbereich 11 auf sowie eine Öffnung 12, durch die ein gesteckter Steckverbinder 1 hindurchragt, um mit einem Gegenstecker zu kontaktieren.
Ein hierbei verwendeter Steckverbinder 1 wird zusammen mit einem elektrischen Kabel 8 als bereits fertig konfektionierte Kabelverbindung geliefert. Die Kabelverbindung wird aus dem Steckverbinder 1, bestehend aus einem Steckverbindergehäuse 2, mit einem Steckbereich 3 und dem angeschlossenen Kabel 4 gebildet.
Der Steckbereich 3 wird von den verschiedenen Steckerproduzenten zwar in einer gewissen Bandbreite, jedoch mit unterschiedlichen Abmaßen geliefert, so dass für die Fixierung eines Steckverbinders nur eine variabel ausgelegte Arretierungsvorrichtung zweckmäßig ist.
Eine derartige Arretierungsvorrichtung ist im Steckbereich 11 des Modulgehäuses vorgesehen, wobei in den Schmalseiten des Modulgehäuses jeweils mindestens eine Rastfeder 16' - in eine Vertiefung 14 im Boden des Modulgehäuses hineinreichend - angeformt ist.
Hier sind beidseitig des Steckbereiches zwei hintereinander gestaffelt, angeformte Rastfedern 16' vorgesehen, die mit ihren Enden 17', etwa in einem Winkel von 45° von der Wand in Steckrichtung, in den Steckbereich 11 hinein ausgerichtet sind.In the Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a cut module housing 10 is shown.
In each case latching hooks 6 are integrally formed on the outer edges, by means of which the module housing, in addition to further module housings which can be lined up one behind the other, can be latched in a frame of a modular plug connector (not shown here).
The module housing 10 has a plug-in area 11 and an opening 12 through which a plug-in connector 1 protrudes to contact with a mating connector.
A connector 1 used in this case is supplied together with an electrical cable 8 as already ready-made cable connection. The cable connection is formed from the connector 1, consisting of a connector housing 2, with a plug-in area 3 and the connected cable 4.
Although the plug-in area 3 is supplied by the various connector manufacturers in a certain range, but with different dimensions, so that only a variably designed locking device is expedient for the fixation of a connector.
Such a locking device is provided in the plug-in region 11 of the module housing, wherein in the narrow sides of the module housing in each case at least one detent spring 16 '- reaching into a recess 14 in the bottom of the module housing - is formed.
Here, two successive staggered, integrally formed detent springs 16 'are provided on both sides of the plug-in area, which are aligned with their ends 17', approximately at an angle of 45 ° from the wall in the insertion direction into the plug-in area 11.

Beim Einstecken des Steckverbindergehäuses 2 in das Modulgehäuse 10 gleiten die Federenden 17' zunächst an den Gehäuseschmalseiten im Steckbereich 5 entlang, entfalten jedoch eine verkeilende Wirkung beim Zurückziehen des Steckverbinders.When inserting the connector housing 2 in the module housing 10, the spring ends 17 'slide initially along the narrow sides of the housing in the plug-in area 5, but unfold a wedging effect when pulling back the connector.

In der Fig. 2 ist in einer perspektivischen Ansicht ein Steckverbinder 1 gezeigt, der bereits teilweise in ein Modulgehäuse 10 eingefügt ist, das in einem Schnitt dargestellt ist.
Bei diesem Modul ist eine Variante der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Arretierungsvorrichtung vorgesehen, wobei im Steckbereich 11 zwei gegenüberliegende Federelemente15 angeordnet sind, die jeweils mit einer Rastfeder 16, bzw. mit deren Ende 17 in den Steckbereich 11 weisen.
Die Federelemente 15 sind mit ihren Enden 19 in Schlitzen 13 fixiert und werden durch eine einseitig ausgeführte Einsatzöffnung 14 in das Modulgehäuse unverlierbar eingesetzt.In the Fig. 2 is shown in a perspective view of a connector 1, which is already partially inserted into a module housing 10, which is shown in a section.
In this module, a variant of the in Fig. 1 Locking device shown provided, wherein in the plug-in area 11 two opposing spring elements 15 are arranged, each with a detent spring 16, or with the end 17 in the plug-in area 11 have.
The spring elements 15 are fixed with their ends 19 in slots 13 and are used by a one-sided executed insertion opening 14 in the module housing captive.

Beim weiteren Einschieben des Steckverbinders 1 in das Modulgehäuse 10, bis der Steckbereich 3 des Steckverbindergehäuses in die Öffnung 12 im Modulgehäuse hineinreicht, gleiten die Schmalseiten des Steckverbindergehäuses an den Rastfedern 16 entlang und aufgrund der Ausrichtung der Rastfedern in Steckrichtung wird ein Zurückgleiten des Steckverbinders verhindert.Upon further insertion of the connector 1 into the module housing 10 until the plug portion 3 of the connector housing extends into the opening 12 in the module housing, the narrow sides of the connector housing slide along the detent springs 16 and due to the orientation of the detent springs in the insertion direction, a sliding back of the connector is prevented.

In der Fig. 3 ist das Federelement 15 gezeigt, das eine leichte U-förmige Wölbung aufweist und aus dessen Zentrum eine dreiseitig freigestellte Rastfeder 16 hervorsteht. Die Rastfeder ist zunächst in die Wölbung des Federelementes hineingeformt, ragt jedoch mit dem Federende 17 entgegen der Wölbung aus der ausgeschnittenen Öffnung 18 hervor.
Die Wölbung ist erforderlich, um das Rastelement mit einer gewissen Spannung innerhalb der Schlitze 13 im Modul 10 zu halten.In the Fig. 3 the spring element 15 is shown, which has a slight U-shaped curvature and protrudes from the center of a three-sided release latching spring 16. The detent spring is first formed into the curvature of the spring element, but projects with the spring end 17 against the curvature of the cut-out opening 18.
The curvature is required to hold the locking element with a certain tension within the slots 13 in the module 10.

Für eine Demontage des Steckerverbinders müssen die Rastfedern 16 jedoch von außen zurückgebogen werden, in dem durch Einstecken eines flachen Werkzeuges in die Bodenöffnung 14 im Modulgehäuse10 die Rastfedern zurückzubiegen sind.
Dieser Aufwand ist jedoch in durchaus gerechtfertigt, da diese Steckverbinder innerhalb eines mit mehreren Modulsteckern ausgerüsteten Systemsteckers eingebunden sind und in der Regel nur bei der Montage eines neuen Systems bestückt werden, ansonsten durch eine Trennung der beiden Hälften des Modulsteckers auch die darin gehaltenen Steckverbinder voneinander getrennt sind.For disassembly of the plug connector, however, the detent springs 16 must be bent back from the outside, in which by inserting a flat Tool in the bottom opening 14 in the Modulgehäuse10 the locking springs are zurückzubiegen.
However, this effort is justified in quite as these connectors are integrated within a system plug equipped with a plurality of modular plug and are usually equipped only when installing a new system, otherwise separated by a separation of the two halves of the module plug and the connectors held therein are.
