Definitions

  • the invention relates to a locking device having a receiving part and a plug-in in the receiving part plug-in part, wherein the receiving part and the plug-in part are provided with complementary latching means, which cause locking of receiving part and plug-in part in the mated state of the locking device.
  • Such a locking device is known in principle. It is usually made of plastic and serves, for example, for attaching a lid to a housing. Since the strength of plastic is limited, such a locking device has only a limited locking or holding force. Act tensile forces on the receiving part and / or the male part, which in their sum exceed a maximum holding or locking force of the locking device, this leads to an unintentional unlocking of the locking device. Even a permanent load of a known locking device made of plastic with increased forces proves to be problematic.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a locking device with an increased locking or holding force.
  • the locking device according to the invention is characterized in particular by the fact that the locking of receiving part and plug-in part takes place in at least two - as seen in the insertion direction - successively arranged areas.
  • the locking or holding force of the locking device is distributed over two bearing surfaces, namely on the support surface, which lies in the locking plane of the first latch, and on the support surface, which lies in the locking plane of the second latch.
  • the locking in the insertion direction causes enlargement, e.g. Doubling, the effective contact surface of the locking means.
  • the locking device according to the invention can withstand elevated, acting on plug and / or receiving part tensile forces. In other words, the locking device has an increased holding or locking force.
  • the locking device according to the invention consequently ensures reliable locking even with increased tensile forces. Conversely, it is correspondingly possible with a lower maximum tensile force to reduce the two bearing surfaces, ie the locking means. With the same maximum holding or locking force, the locking device according to the invention can consequently have a lower overall height and thus a reduced space requirement compared to a known locking device.
  • the locking device may be additionally formed self-locking, for example by a corresponding undercut of the locking means.
  • a locking of receiving part and male part in at least two areas allows - in addition to the locking position - also the formation of at least one further detent position, which allows a backup of the male part in a predefined position on the receiving part.
  • a Vorverriegelungs- or pre-locking position of the male part may be provided, in which the male part is held on the receiving part before the final locking of the locking device.
  • the male part has a latching means designed as a locking rocker.
  • the locking rocker allows easy handling, in particular easy opening and closing, the locking device. This is especially true in a confined space. An auxiliary tool for actuating the locking device is not required.
  • the locking rocker for opening and closing the locking device is tiltable about a tilting axis extending transversely to the direction of insertion, in particular elastically tiltable. This further simplifies the handling of the locking device and in particular facilitates the engagement or disengagement of the latching means arranged one behind the other in the direction of insertion.
  • the tilting axis for example, by laterally emerging from the locking rocker torsion bars run or be formed by a separate axis, such as a metal axis.
  • the locking rocker automatically tilts when mating plug-in part and receiving part.
  • the plug-in part therefore needs to be pushed into the receiving part for locking the locking device, which can be carried out well even in a small installation space.
  • the locking rocker may have a ramp which cooperates with the receiving part during the mating of male part and receiving part to cause a tilting of the locking rocker. Through the ramp, an automatic tilting of the locking rocker is achieved.
  • the ramp provides when the locking rocker on the receiving part for the fact that the locking rocker just tilted so far that the locking means of the male part when mating male and female part first overcome the locking means of the receiving part and then can engage behind this.
  • the locking rocker can be manually tilted. For example, while an end of the locking rocker is pressed down by hand to achieve tilting of the locking rocker. This allows tilting of the locking rocker even if it is not designed for automatic tilting. If the locking rocker, however, provided with a ramp, as described above, it can be reduced by an additional manual tilting of the locking rocker required for mating of receiving part and male part force.
  • the locking rocker in the region of - seen in the insertion direction - front and rear end each have a locking projection.
  • a latching of receiving part and plug-in part in two spaced apart and in particular - seen in the insertion direction - successively arranged areas are provided.
  • the locking projections extend in opposite directions with respect to a main plane of the locking rocker.
  • the latching projections of the locking rocker during mating plug-in part and receiving part can move past the locking means of the receiving part particularly well. The applied during mating of male and female part force is thereby further reduced.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 show a first embodiment of the locking device according to the invention.
  • the locking device comprises a receiving part 10 and a plug-in part 12 which can be inserted into the receiving part 10.
  • the plugging direction is indicated by the arrow 13 in FIG.
  • Both the receiving part 10 and the plug-in part 12 is formed from a plastic material, in particular, it may be in both parts 10, 12 to plastic injection molded parts. Alternatively, it is also possible to form the male part 12 and / or the receiving part 10 of a metal material.
  • the receiving part 10 has a flat cuboid basic shape and comprises a diar-like upper wall 14.
  • the upper wall 14 is formed by two parallel to each other in the insertion direction extending, spaced-apart side portions 16 extending through two parallel to each other and transverse to the insertion direction to each other spaced upper cross member 18, 20 are interconnected.
  • the side portions 16 and the upper cross members 18, 20 define a rectangular recess 22 of the upper wall 14 of the receiving part 10th
  • each side portion 16 adjoins a perpendicular to the upper wall 14 extending side wall 24 at.
  • the side walls 24 are at their sides facing away from the top wall 14, i. at the bottom of the receiving part 10, connected by a transversely to the direction of insertion 13 extending lower cross member 26 with each other.
  • the lower cross member 26 does not extend exactly through the center of the underside of the receiving part 10, but is offset with respect to this in the insertion direction 13 slightly forward.
  • the male part 12 is essentially formed by a rectangular plate 28.
  • the width of the plate 28 corresponds approximately to the distance between the side walls 24 of the receiving part 10, while the thickness of the plate 28 corresponds approximately to the distance between the upper wall 14 and the lower cross member 26.
  • the length of the male part 12 is slightly larger than that of the female part 10.
  • the plate portion 32 forms a locking rocker which is tiltable about an axis extending transversely to the insertion direction 13 and through the web portions 34 axis.
  • the web portions 34 act at a tilt of the locking rocker 32 as torsion elements such that the tilting of the locking rocker 32 is elastic in nature. In other words, the locking rocker 32 is always anxious to tilt back into its original position, i. in a position parallel to the plate 28, to return.
  • the locking rocker 32 may also be mounted with respect to a separate axis fixed to the plate 28, e.g. a metal axis, be tilted stored.
  • the axle may be fixedly connected to the locking rocker 32 and rotatably supported in the plate 28.
  • a spring element between the locking rocker 32 and the plate 28 may be connected to move the locking rocker 32 from the tilted position back to its original position.
  • the locking rocker 32 each have a latching projection 40, 42. Both the front latching projection 40 and the rear latching projection 42 extend substantially over the entire width of the locking rocker 32.
  • the front locking projection 40 is formed on the underside 44 of the locking rocker 32 and serves to engage behind the lower cross member 26 of the receiving part 10 in the locked state of the locking device.
  • the rear locking projection 42 is formed on the upper side 46 of the locking rocker 32 to engage in the locked state of the locking device seen in the insertion direction 13 rear upper cross member 18 of the upper wall 14 of the receiving part 10.
  • the lower cross member 26 and the rear upper cross member 18 thus form counter-locking elements of the receiving part 10 for the front and rear locking projection 40, 42 of the male part 12th
  • the locking of receiving part 10 and plug-in part 12 in the assembled state of the locking device thus takes place in two - viewed in the insertion direction 13 - successively arranged areas, namely by the lower cross member 26 and the front locking projection 40 and by the rear cross member 18 and the rear locking projection 42nd As a result, a particularly reliable locking of plug-in part 12 and receiving part 10 is achieved.
  • the height of the front locking projection 40 and the rear locking projection 42 substantially corresponds to the thickness of the upper wall 14 and the lower cross member 26, so that the locking projections 40, 42 in the mated state of the locking device do not protrude significantly beyond the receiving part 10, as in particular can be seen in Fig. 2.
  • the locking projections 40, 42 can overcome the lower cross member 26 and the rear upper cross member 18 when inserting the male part 12 into the receiving part 10, the locking rocker 32 is tilted during insertion of the male part 12 in the receiving part 10.
  • the rear end 38 of the locking rocker 32 is thereby pressed down, so that the front end 36 of the locking rocker 32 is raised.
  • the front and rear ends 36, 38 of the locking rocker 32 are deflected up or down from the main plane of the plate 28, at least so far that the located on the bottom 44 of the locking rocker 32 front locking projection 40 on the lower cross member 26 move away and located on the top 46 of the locking rocker 32 located rear locking projection 42 can move under the rear upper cross member 18 of the receiving part 10.
  • the front of the front locking projection 40 is additionally slightly bevelled.
  • the tilting of the locking rocker 32 is carried out manually, i. by depressing the rear end 38 of the locking rocker 32nd
  • a second embodiment of the locking device according to the invention in which the tilting of the locking rocker 32 during mating of receiving part 10 and Plug-in part 12, however, takes place automatically.
  • the second embodiment has substantially the same structure as the first embodiment described above. Identical components or parts of the same function are therefore provided with the same reference numerals.
  • the locking device according to the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in particular in that the locking rocker 32 is provided on its upper side 46 with a ramp 48 which adjoins the front side of the rear locking projection 42.
  • the ramp 48 rises from the top 46 of the locking rocker 32 starting in the direction of the rear locking projection 42 and reaches a maximum height corresponding to the height of the rear locking projection 42.
  • the ramp 48 in the illustrated exemplary embodiment has a circular contour in plan view. Just as well, however, the ramp 48 can also have a different rounded or angled contour.
  • the ramp 48 runs on the rear side of the rear upper cross member 18 on the receiving part 10 and thereby causes an automatic tilting of the locking rocker 32, as shown in Fig. 5b.
  • the length of the ramp 48, the height of the locking projections 40, 42 and the distance between the locking projections 40, 42 to each other are coordinated so that it is ensured by the emergence of the ramp 48 on the rear upper cross member 18 that the front and rear locking projection 40, 42 when mating plug-in part 12 and receiving part 10 in time as far out of the plane of the plate 28, ie be raised or lowered, that they do not stick to the lower cross member 26 and rear upper cross member 18, but can move across and away.
  • Fig. 6 shows the second embodiment of the locking device according to the invention in the locked state.
  • the locking rocker 32 is located in the plane of the plate 28 of the male part 12 and the locking projections 40, 42 engage behind the lower cross member 26 and the rear upper cross member 18. Accordingly, the situation in the locked state of the first embodiment is also.
  • a third embodiment of the locking device according to the invention is shown, in which the tilting of the locking rocker 32 during mating of receiving part 10 and plug-in part 12 is also carried out automatically.
  • the third embodiment has substantially the same structure as the above-described embodiments. Identical components or parts of the same function are therefore also provided here with the same reference numerals.
  • the locking device according to the third embodiment differs from the second embodiment in that the ramp for the automatic tilting of the locking rocker 32 is not on the Locking rocker 32 of the male part 12, but on the lower cross member 26 of the receiving part 10 is provided.
  • the - viewed in the insertion direction - the rear end face of the lower cross member 26 is provided for this purpose with a ramp-like inclined surface 50, on which the tapered front of the front locking projection 40 of the male part 12 can accumulate during insertion of the male part 12 in the receiving part 10, whereby the tilting the locking rocker 32 is effected.
  • the lower cross member 26 is also formed as a double support comprising two support portions 26 ', 26 "parallel to each other and spaced from each other Carrier portions 26 ', 26 "to each other is selected so that the front locking projection 40 of the male member 12 between the support portions 26', 26" can engage to secure the male member 12 in a pre-locking position on the receiving part 10.
  • the distance of the - seen in the insertion direction - rear support portion 26 'to the rear upper cross member 18 further adapted to the distance between the front and the rear locking projection 40, 42 that in the pre-locking position of the male part 12 of the rear Locking projection 42 abuts on its front side approximately to the rear upper cross member 18 and the front locking projection 40 abuts on its rear side approximately at the front support portion 26 '.
  • the plug-in part 12 is fixed in the pre-locking position almost free of play on the receiving part 10.
  • Both the front support portion 26 'and the rear support portion 26 “has a ramp-like inclined surface 50 in order to effect an automatic tilting of the locking rocker 32.
  • the Locking rocker 32 twice automatically tilted during insertion of the male part 12 in the receiving part 10, namely a first time when the male part 12 is brought into the pre-locking position (Fig. 7), and again, when the male part 12 from the pre-locking position into the locking position ( Figure 8).
  • the rear end of the locking rocker 32 is pushed down so far that the front locking projection 40 on the lower cross member 26 and the rear locking projection 42 can slide away under the rear upper cross member 18 when the male member 12 for opening the Locking device is pulled out of the receiving part 10.
  • auxiliary locking mechanism not shown, for example, a slider, cooperate, which can be actuated only at a correct locking end position of the male part, on the one hand to ensure correct engagement of the male part in the receiving part and on the other hand unintentional tilting of the locking rocker and thereby to prevent unlocking of the locking device.
