Description

Beschreibungdescription
Steckverbindung für eine FlachbandleitungPlug connection for a ribbon cable
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Steckverbindung zwischen einem Flachbandkabel und einem für Flachbandkabel geeigneten Stecker. Im Stand der Technik sind Steckvorrichtungeri bekannt, in die Flachbandkabel ohne Verrastung in Stecker eingelegt werden können. Dies erfolgt insbesondere manuell, da eine automatische Kontrolle einer richtigen Kontaktierung nur auf elektrischem Wege durchgeführt werden kann.The invention relates to a plug connection between a ribbon cable and a connector suitable for ribbon cable. In the prior art, plug devices are known in which ribbon cables can be inserted into the plug without latching. This is done especially manually, since an automatic check of a correct contact can only be carried out electrically.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, eine Steckverbindung anzugeben, die auch automatisch ausgeführt werden kann und bei der auf eine elektrische Kontaktüberprüfung verzichtet werden kann. Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass das Flachbandkabel mit einer Markierung versehen wird. Nach Montage des Flachbandkabel in den Stecker ist es möglich, die Lage der Markierung im Verhältnis zum Stecker optisch zu überprüfen und somit festzustellen, ob das Flachbandkabel korrekt montiert ist. Die Markierung ist insbesondere als Markierungslinie ausbildbar, die besonders vorteilhafter weise sich in rechtem Winkel zum Verlauf des Flachbandkabels erstreckt. So kann der Abstand der Markierungslinie zu dem Stecker vermessen werden.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a plug connection which can also be carried out automatically and in which an electrical contact check can be dispensed with. This object is achieved in that the ribbon cable is provided with a marking. After installing the ribbon cable in the connector, it is possible to visually check the position of the marking in relation to the connector and thus determine whether the ribbon cable is correctly installed. The marking can be formed in particular as a marking line, which particularly advantageously extends at right angles to the course of the ribbon cable. In this way, the distance between the marking line and the plug can be measured.
Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der Figuren näher erläutert. Es zeigen.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the figures. Show it.
Fig. 1 ein Flachbandkabel mit Markierung in einem Stecker,1 is a ribbon cable with marking in a connector,
Fig. 2 die Aufsicht auf die Bauteilgruppe aus Fig. 1, wobei eine optimale Abstecktiefe dargestellt ist, Fig. 3 eine Aufsicht auf die Baugruppe aus Fig. 1, bei der ein Winkelfehler aufgetreten ist,FIG. 2 shows the top view of the component group from FIG. 1, an optimal setting depth being shown, 3 is a plan view of the assembly from FIG. 1, in which an angular error has occurred,
Fig. 4 die Aufsicht auf die Baugruppe aus Fig. 1, wobei das Flachbandkabel zu gering eingesteckt ist .Fig. 4 is a plan view of the assembly of Fig. 1, the ribbon cable is inserted too little.
Fig. 1 zeigt ein Flachbandkabel 1 mit Markierung 2 und weiterhin einen Stecker 3, der auf einer Leiterplatte 4 angeordnet und mit dieser elektrisch verbunden ist. Die Markierung 2 weist einen hohen Kontrast gegenüber der Flexleitung 1 auf. So ist insbesondere bei hellen Flexleitungen eine schwarze Markierung besonders geeignet.Fig. 1 shows a ribbon cable 1 with marking 2 and also a connector 3, which is arranged on a circuit board 4 and is electrically connected to this. The marking 2 has a high contrast to the flexible line 1. A black marking is particularly suitable for bright flexible cables.
In den Figuren 2 bis 4 ist zusätzlich ein Sensorfeld 5 einer ansonsten nicht dargestellten Prüfungseinrichtung dargestellt. Sofern sich das Sensorfeld 5 mit der Markierung 2 deckt, kann auf eine optimale Abstecktiefe des Flachbandkabels geschlossen werden.FIGS. 2 to 4 additionally show a sensor field 5 of an otherwise not shown test facility. If the sensor field 5 coincides with the marking 2, it can be concluded that the ribbon cable has an optimal depth.
In Fig. 3 wird ein Winkelfehler detektiert, da nur Teile des Sensorfeldes 5 bedeckt werden.An angular error is detected in FIG. 3 since only parts of the sensor field 5 are covered.
In Fig. 4 wird eine zu geringe Einstecktiefe festgestellt, da das Sensorfeld 5 noch nicht die Markierung 2 detektiert hat.In FIG. 4, the insertion depth is found to be too small since the sensor field 5 has not yet detected the marking 2.
Die Markierung 2 kann in jeder beliebigen Form sein, so ist es insbesondere auch möglich, nur an den Rändern des Flachbandkabels farbliche Markierungen vorzusehen. Es ist auch möglich, die Markierungen plastisch durch z. B. Bänder oder Einkerbungen darzustellen. Insgesamt hat sich aber gezeigt, dass eine optische Markierung in Form einer durchgezogenen Linie besonders leicht und sicher überprüfbar ist .The marking 2 can be in any shape, so it is in particular also possible to provide colored markings only on the edges of the ribbon cable. It is also possible to plastically mark through z. B. to represent ribbons or notches. Overall, however, it has been shown that optical marking in the form of a solid line is particularly easy and safe to check.
Das Flachbandkabel kann beispielsweise ein Raster von 0, 3 mm, 0,5 mm, 1 mm oder 1,25 mm aufweisen. The ribbon cable can, for example, have a grid of 0.3 mm, 0.5 mm, 1 mm or 1.25 mm.
