Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical connector, in which at least one plug part carries on its body a screwed with an associated mating connector nut, which is secured by locking means against accidental rotation to the body, wherein each one of the locking means integrally formed on the body and the corresponding other locking means the union nut is arranged and one of the latching means is designed as a peripheral locking toothed ring.
  • a generic electrical connector in which on the body of the plug part distributed over the circumference, axially directed locking webs are formed as locking means and engage in the locking ring gear of a plastic ring, which is locked with the union nut.
  • the union nut is provided at its rear end with an inner annular groove, in which the plastic ring is pressed, on the inner peripheral surface of the locking ring gear is formed.
  • the plastic ring is provided with rotation stops, which are received in retaining recesses of the nut. Due to the symmetrical design of the flanks of the locking elements equal values for the tightening and loosening moment are generated.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a cost-effective in the manufacture and assembly rotation lock for the nut in electrical connectors, which can also be used in waterproof connectors.
  • the connector according to the invention consists of a two-piece connector housing and a rotatably mounted thereon union nut.
  • the plug housing is constructed of a round housing and a fixing ring fixedly connected to it, which prevents the nut from falling out.
  • the positions of the union nut and fixing ring are expediently determined by the circular housing mounted, acting as stops circumferential frets.
  • the fixing ring has on its facing in the direction of the union nut end face on a plurality of protruding, axially aligned spring arms. These are evenly distributed over the entire circumference and designed to be resilient in the radial direction.
  • the round housing is made of metal and shields the plug-in connection effectively against disturbing electromagnetic radiation and thus ensures compliance with the applicable EMC guidelines.
  • the fixing ring is made of plastic and emerging from its front spring arms formed directly. This ensures a cost-effective manufacturing process. There are in principle also other elastic materials used, if they have sufficiently good spring properties. Also, a two-piece construction of different materials is conceivable.
  • the spring arms carry at their free ends on their outer circumference an axially aligned tooth profile, which is designed corresponding to the tooth profile of the union nut.
  • the tooth profiles slide off each other and cause a continuous, periodically varying escapement of the cap nut, which is felt as a result of snaps.
  • the spring arms are additionally supported in the region of the tooth profile by an additional spring element, preferably an O-ring against the circular housing.
  • the O-ring In order to fulfill its function safely, the O-ring is located just below the tooth profile and must not change its axial position either during or through the turning of the union nut.
  • the round housing preferably has a circumferential groove at the corresponding point, in which the O-ring is mounted in a positionally accurate and stable position. This configuration also proves useful in the assembly of the connector as the O-ring can be easily and safely mounted.
  • the tooth profile of the fixing ring has a wave-shaped outer surface.
  • the union nut in the release and tightening direction can be smoothly slid without twisting too much effort and remains stable in defined preference positions.
  • the lateral surface may be preferably sinusoidal or trapezoidal. Asymmetrical design of the rising edges of the profile different values for the tightening and loosening torque of the screw can be achieved.
  • an internal thread with several threads is formed on the mating connector part side, with which the connector is screwed with a mating connector.
  • the internal thread is formed segmented.
  • the union nut on the side facing the fixing ring on the inner circumference on a locking gear ring which is open to the corresponding end face.
  • the locking toothed ring of the union nut preferably has a wave-shaped toothing profile. It is clear that here too different embodiments, similar to the tooth profile of the fixing ring, can be realized with the corresponding features. It has proven to be advantageous that the two intermeshing tooth profiles are designed to correspond, that is, mirror-image, whereby the combination of different waveforms is not excluded.
  • fixing ring and union nut on additional locking elements via which the union nut can be positioned in preferred positions to the connector housing.
  • one or more additional tooth profiles offset in the axial direction are integrally formed on the protruding from the fixing spring arms, which engage in a second locking ring gear of the nut.
  • a mark applied to the fixing ring points to the reverse polarity protection fuse formed on the round housing, which is covered by the union nut. This help considerably simplifies plugging in the connector for the user.
  • the detent position is supplemented on one side by a fixed stop and thus realized in conjunction with the segmented internal thread of the union nut the function of a bayonet closure.
  • the forces required for tightening and loosening the cap nut are determined by the geometries of the toothed profile, the number and strength of the spring arms and the elasticity of the O-ring.
  • the flanks of the tooth profile different values for the torque or the release torque can be realized.
  • Figure 1 shows the structure of the electrical connector, which consists of a round housing 1, a union nut 2, an O-ring 3 and a fixing ring 4. During the assembly process, first the union nut 2, then the O-ring 3 are threaded onto the round housing 1 and secured by the fixing ring 4.
  • Figure 2 shows a longitudinal section through the median plane of a mounted connector.
  • the union nut 2 is threaded onto the round housing 1 in such a way that its internal thread 8 points in the direction of the front of the connector, ie to the mating connector part, and a radial collar 10 lying on its inner circumference rests against a stop collar 16 of the circular housing 1.
  • the union nut 2 is secured against falling out in the direction of mating connector.
  • screwing the nut 2 on a mating connector part of the collar 10 acts as a driver and presses the round housing 1 via its peripheral stop collar 16 against the mating connector part.
  • the fixedly pressed onto the circular housing 1 fixing ring 4 serves as a stop for the union nut 2.
  • the distance between the two stops is chosen so that the union nut 2 is free to rotate.
  • the protruding on the nut 2 facing end face of the fixing ring 4 protruding spring arms 11 are connected to the locking ring gear 8 of the union nut 2 in engagement.
  • the free ends of the spring arms 11 are additionally elastically supported in the region of the tooth profile 12 by an O-ring 10.
  • the O-ring 3 is mounted in a circumferential groove 17 in the round housing 1.
  • FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the union nut.
  • the union nut 2 is designed as a knurled nut and has at the rear, the fixing ring side facing on the inner circumferential surface a circumferential collar 10 which acts as a stop to the circular housing 1.
  • the internal thread 9 is shown, which is segmented in this embodiment.
  • the internal thread 9 consists of six equal segments, of which each second carries no teeth. If the thread of the mating connector is constructed in a similar manner, the Insert the connector as far as possible and lock it with a 60 ° turn over all threads.
  • the locking sprocket 8 has a sinusoidal shell surface and is formed symmetrically. By this special design a smooth detent is achieved.
  • Figure 4 shows a perspective view of the connector housing with mounted fixing ring.
  • the round housing 1 has on its outer shell two diametrically opposite flats 18, which together with the integrally formed on the inner surface of the fixing ring, corresponding flats 19 prevent rotation of the fixing securely. From the front surface of the fixing ring 4 occur evenly distributed over the circumference spring arms 11, which carry a tooth profile 12 at its end.
  • the individual spring arms 11 thus represent a segmented locking gear, whose individual segments are designed to be resilient.
  • the connector has on its front side a sealing surface 14 for sealing against penetrating moisture and a nose 15, which acts as a reverse polarity protection.
  • FIG. 5 shows a longitudinal section through a plug connector connected to a mating plug part.
  • a sealing ring 6 is mounted in a groove in the mating connector part 5 so that the circular housing 1 is pressed against the sealing ring 6 when tightening the union nut 2 with its sealing surface 14.
  • Figure 6 shows another embodiment in a perspective view with a modified connector housing preferably with a locking nubs 20 for a preferred position of the union nut 2 and symmetrical sinusoidal tooth profile.
  • the locking knobs 20 is integrally formed on a spring arm 11 of the fixing ring 4 and thus executed radially resilient.
  • Figure 7 shows a detail of the locking ring gear 8 belonging to the embodiment in Figure 6 union nut 2 with asymmetric, sinusoidal tooth profile 8 and additional symmetrically ausgestalteter locking groove 21 for the preferred position of the nut.
  • the segmented internal thread 9 of the union nut 2 is positioned accurately to the circular housing 1 for insertion into the mating connector part 5.
  • Figure 8 shows the detail of a further variant of the locking ring gear 8 of the union nut 2 with an integrated additional fixed stop 22.
  • This embodiment is preferably used when the male connector is designed as quasi-bayonet closure and limits the angle of rotation of the union nut 2 when screwed, so that the unlocking position of union nut 2 and mating connector part 5 positioned accurately positioned and over-rotation is thus prevented.
